2020 Poem
This year; the very essence of who we are,
was wiped away, a new normal in its place.
adapting, struggling, suffocating,
all confined, a mind boggling time.
This year: distance thrusted upon us,
voices stifled, makes required, 6 feet apart.
loved ones alone, virus spreading,
loneliness engulfs us, our world in solitude.
This year; a period of 12, eternity of emotions,
bipolarity , up, down, up again,
anxieties rising, people dying,
life struggling forward, fear freezing us in place.
This year; a year like no other,
a new normal, no one wanted the change.
a year filled with unforeseen variables,
we are puzzle pieces that do not fit.
This year; an end for so many,
disease, death surround us.
We grapple to find our new place,
forced into a new unwanted society.
Life, uncertain for all of humanity!
