I will not sleep tonight
I will worry and fret
About the outcome
Of this election
This election
Will either be a blessing
Or a curse
For the next 4 years
I will not stop thinking
About this night
Although my eyes are drooping
My mind is still racing
Full of worries
Full of fear
For the future of our country
I am afraid
I am scared
I am fearful
I am worried
I need her to win
Not just for the sake of
Our country
But for the sake of all
The little girls
For the sake of me
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
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
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
