The circus masters release the red beast,
its mane flowing, great fangs bared,
ready to take a bite out of the audience,
who convinced them to let it out of its cage
It's too late to be awake.
Devastation crawls in the wake
of everything.
My eyes are burning
physically, actually
in no poetic manner
my eyes are burning with
Today felt the same as yesterday
Nothing changed
But there was a silence
That echoed in the voices
I heard
Today felt as if nothing changed
I got up brushed my teeth

My little sister
Only 7 years old
Innocent
And yet strong willed
She will grow up
In this country
With this president
This person who calls himself
When the sons come for me, do not say you are surprised,
For I have taken a vow of pain
Hand flat-placed, an oath, a promise
To fight with pen and soliloquy.
For what is anguish?
Today I've walked around school in a haze
I don't know what to do
How to feel
I don't understand
How he won again
I don't think I want to understand
Hello writers, artists, friends, and fellow members!
Some people vote, but never think,
Their choices shallow, quick to sink.
They cheer and boast, with voices loud,
But wisdom’s lost inside the crowd.
Look, even she's crying.
A girl pointed at me, before first period
Look, even she's crying
