The Election

I need it to be over.
I need it to be done.
I need it to be finished.
I’m no longer having fun.

The votes must all be counted.
The winner be declared.
Because I’m feeling frightened
Nervous, anxious, and so scared.

About how we’ll continue
If things don’t go our way.
How I’ll get up in the morning.
How I’ll have a pleasant day.

It’s just so overwhelming.
I cannot even sleep.
I walk around all foggy
I simply want to weep.

Oh please let this be over.
Just one more day to go.
I’m trying to hold on here
But I really need to know.

That after all the voting
I’ll finally be content.
When they introduce our head of state
As Madam President.
