Voting Day

by adewpearl



I stepped
into the booth,
a shiver down my spine.
A place secured in history
was mine.




Recognized


I've voted in every election, national or local, since I became eligible at age 21, and I have always felt the weight of my decision. I truly do believe that each person in a democracy has a sacred duty to help decide who will run our government and represent the interests of the people.

However, I had never experienced the feeling I did when I voted this past November. My knees, literally, almost went out from under me as I cast my vote, and I was covered with goosebumps. I was one tiny part of history's being made, and today, inauguration day, the goosebumps are coming back.
