54 degrees

54 degrees

Yesterday was December 7th

And it was 54 degrees

I live in Minnesota

On December 7th

It is supposed to be snowy

The lake should be frozen over

But no

It was 54 degrees Fahrenheit

And cheeto man

doesn’t care

if next year

it is 54 degrees celsius

He doesn’t care

if next year

on December 7th

I am at the beach

And the

Trees

and birds

are dying. 

And I am just one girl.

I can’t do anything.

Cheeto man

and Elon musk

and Jeff Bezos

and the people who have 

money

and influence

need to do something.

But they won’t.

And I can’t.

I can’t do anything

about the fact that it was 54 degrees.

  • Treadmill

    Sometimes I feel like I am running on a treadmill towards a big shiny sign that says “Relaxation.” Surronding the big shiny words are lots of other words.

  • Too much

    I am 13

    I am in 7th grade.

    I like school. Most of the time.

    I am quite good at school.

    I'm in all the advanced classes offered. 3 years ahead in Math, 3 years ahead in my English vocab, and on the hardest History track.
