Who Gave You The Right?
I took inspo from the song Right, by Morgan St Jean
Stop
Telling
Woman
What
They
Can
And
Can't
Do
This is not ok
You think
Just because

I don't know what it is
I have never wanted
Something more than I do now
The problem is
I don't know what
I don't know what
I long for
What I reach for
It's like a dream
Blurry and unrecognizable
I want this thing

Reporters
In the car
After dark
With the headlights shining
On the wet pavement
Like stars on the ground
I curl up in my seat
And the news is on
Voices fill the car
Not my own
Not my dads

Fictional Love
I want that feeling
The thing in books
In movies
The fictional love
The one I dream about
The one that I see online
The one I read about
I want not just the butterflies

1920 days
192o days
Until the next election
Each day a struggle
1920 days of living
In this place
How many laws and bills can be made
In this place
How many people can get hurt
How many people will cry

34
34
An even number
A prime number
2
17 times
I can't count it on one hand
Not on two
Not even with my toes
And with a list of 34 felonies
We still elect
Him
A convicted felon

Dear younger me
You are music.
You are art.
You are the flowers in your hair.
You are mismatched fuzzy socks.
You are your elephant dress over polka-dot leggings.
You are rain.
You are sunshine.

Alone
I do what I’m told
I have friends
I try my best
But it isn’t enough
I ninety feels bad
A failure
But for some people it’s a win
I don’t want to squash their victory
I don’t know how to feel

Dear America
Dear America,

November 6th, 2024
Today my grief is loud
She is shaky and terrified
I hold her gently in my arms

Men We Reaped
Inspired by Jesmyn Ward
I wish I could tell you how I mourn your innocence,
how I pray for a shield,
