Mixed Emotions

America the great? Always

Always blessed to live here

The freedom of speech

To speak up for what I believe 

My thoughts 

Free to be expressed 

The way I want to

 

Blessed to live here

Blessed for my rights

Blessed to be able to choose who represents me

Blessed to choose the life I want to lead

To choose the world that should be

 

But where has that gone

The turmoil rages in this beautiful nation

Protest after protest 

Fight after fight

Words thrown around

"Snowflake"

"Idiot"

"Racist"

Words just thrown around in hatred

Turning people against people

Creating division and pain

All for the election of one man

 

America the great? Always

Despite the pain and suffering, we can make it through

We can fight when we feel our rights taken away

We can fight love with hate

We can stand together

We are the United States

We must stay united

 

America the great? Always

Even in the darkest times

There will always a silver lining

Freedom

Rights

Blessings
