Trapping me
Holding me
Keeping me in the same spot
I can peek through the bars
Get a glimpse of hope
But a shadow of fear covers it
Fear is a cage
Stopping me

I Hate But...
I hate the way he talks
But his voice sends me to laughter
I hate his hair
And yet when he runs his hands
Through it
I get butterflies
I hate the way he is everywhere
But I look for him

On the paper
Another mark
To myself
My confidence
My pride
The papers around me

Your the problem
So yea
I had a choice

no one is ever as amazing
Every women
Every girl
Is amazing
You are amazing
You are the sun
Warming our life
Brightening our day
You are the glue
That holds us together
Keeping us safe
You're doing great

Bumper stickers,

Celebrate the end.
For democracy,
Our country,
Ukraine,

Four Years
I'm scared.
I can't believe we're here
Again.
I can't believe this is reality
Again.
Four years
They say.
It's only four years.
But it's four years
Of a living hell for me.
They laugh
