After the Election

i can't imagine
what it's like to be a black person,
an immigrant, a muslim, but
i do know what it's like
to belong to the LGBTQ
community, and
i know how i worry about
the hate that's been unleashed
i worry about the young man
who hasn't come out yet
i worry about the young girl
with a buzz cut
i worry about the people
who bash us, call us names
i worry about what's been
unleashed
