A Year of Love, Politics, and Broadway Obsession
Seems like forever
A boy with a Peter Pan face
Walked into my life
A split across the people
The candidates speak on TV
A passion is born
Feel the Bern I’d shout
Writing an article about the election
Probably more knowledgeable then the people voting
You support Trump?
How did I not realize?
I’ll stay because there’s nothing better
You should watch Rent
The magic of another life just outside my reach
No day but today
Why did Bernie not win?
My poll among high schoolers said he would
Guess Clinton’s better than Trump
I thought I was straight
Then she came out to me
The sleeping beast wakes
I take the flower out of the vase
And pull the petals out
She loves me, she loves me not
They scatter in the wind
Landing on the surface of the lake
She loves me
I blow the closet doors apart
And wrap my arms around her
Feeling home at last
I run with the pack now
Part of a community I had always loved
With her hand in mine
