You may not understand
What it is
To look your future in the eye
And have it blink
To not know
If your rights
Will be your rights
Next year,
But you should care.
I understand that not everything can be
Certain
That the world will
Shift
With time and people and decisions but some things should be
Rights.
When you vote
Consider the girls
Falling asleep
Wondering about the world
They will wake up to
Consider the women
Whose decisions don’t need to be harder
Consider the dominoes you start knocking over
By filling in that bubble on that piece of paper.
Look the choice in the eye
And you should flinch at the weight
Of the decision that is yours.
