Today I am afraid
For today my life
Lies in the hands of people
Who see me as a monster
A destroyer
Today I am afraid
For the day I finally can stand
My legs will be broken
By people
Stronger and more powerful than me
And in a week
My life will lie in the hands
Of the people
Who hate me
Just to spread
The hate in their hearts
Posted in response to the challenge Nov. 5 Election.
When I was born I was promised the world
But I was born into a world
Where my parents grew up to only survive
Where family to my mom was merely blood
But to my father was more than life
If I had everything I wanted
Would I have it all?
But what do you want in life?
Not me
Not him
Not her
What do you want?
If I had to say goodbye
I wouldn't know what to say
Would I embrace you
Like we used to
Or is the tension in the air pulling us away from that

Thank you for raising your voice. We will fight back- or shall I say write back- and this country will see that we are not powerless.
Thank you, I intend to do all I can with my voice and my words. we are definitely not powerless and it has to be known!
