November Fifth

No one can predict 

Our country's future  

Various people watching and waiting  

Eager and scared for the outcome 

Making people crazy 

Burning ballots 

Everybody in our country 

Ready for the day, and yet not ready at all 

 

Friends, family, becoming divided 

Innocent people 

Fighting for their rights 

The person I trust with our fragile country is 

Harris

  • 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
