Pandemic

Pandemic

Struggling to find an accurate source.

Wanting to believe our friends and family.

Panicking as businesses and schools shut down.

Pandemic

“Burdened by lockdown, social distancing, and homeschooling”. 

Suffocated by the screen that never sleeps.

Reminded of what we are missing out on and who we are missing. 

Pandemic

Begin to breathe in fresh air of the new world. 

Watch as vaccines sting arms and rejuvenate souls.

Aware that we are not the same person that once stood a year ago.
