My representative
Is a faceless man in a suit.
I didn’t vote for him,
I don’t support his party,
Or their policies.
So I sit here wondering
How can I feel represented?
How can my voice be heard?
Who looks out for my interests?
Who understands my life?
Every cross I mark on a ballot
Falls unseen
Into a bottomless pit.
No sound, no ripples
As if it never existed.
