I really hope she wins

I knew this was coming 

I knew he would run again 

Every four years 

And yet it still comes 

With a shock 

Then she stepped in 

Giving me hope 

Calling him out 

If she wins 

She will be 

The first woman president 

It's crazy 

That there have already 

Been 46 

Presidents 

And not a single woman 

If she wins 

This country 

Our home  

will survive 

We will grow 

We will change 

For the good 

If he wins 

I'm scared 

The mess 

The damage 

He will lead our country to 

It scares me 

The things he says 

I'm worried 

For young women 

Non-Christian people 

Non-straight or cis people 

Anyone who isn't like him 

Who knew 

A little kid like me 

Would think about that 

The fear I feel about him 

The joy and pride I feel about her 

Representing our country 

Leading our country 

Making us safe 

I really hope 

She wins

  • 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
