Masks On

Mya curled in a ball stared at the ceiling thinking. Someone from her school died from corona virus because he did not like wearing masks and social distancing. She thought sadly of all the people she knew who were dieing from the virus. Some of her cousins. Her classmates. One of her teachers. She missed her friends and her family. The virus was spreading fast and getting more deadly. Most people thought it was like the flu and dont wear masks. She looked out her window. The only good thing about this virus is that nature is clearing up, she thought. An idea struck her, I dont want anyone else I love to die. I have to do something even if its small. She hopped off her bed and grabbed paper and markers. She was gonna do something to help. She started writing on the signs and put on her mask. Mya raced downstairs and went to the local park. She held up her signs and started shouting. "Wear masks. Social distance. Be safe. Help stop the virsus from spreading." She contined shouting and holding up her signs as people put on masks around her and joined her shouting. Even the little things count, She thought. Everyone can make a difference and help the world.

  • Kept It All

    I keep everything i have left of you

    I still look at our pictures together

    We looked so happy

    I still have your sweatshirt

    It still smells like you

    I still have the stuffed animals

  • Finding Myself

    I found myself in the things I love

    In the music I listen to

    In the books I read

    In the posters on my walls 

    I found myself 

    In my favorite drink

    In going to the beach

    In writing poetry 

  • Wishing

    I've been asked a lot,

    If you had one wish what would you wish for?

    Blowing out candles on a cake,

    What did you wish for?

    Blowing the seeds off a dandelion,

    What did you wish for?

    I wish
