Our world now

You will know what I mean when you have lived through a world of COVID-19 

you will get what I say
if you are battling the problems of today

you will hear what you hear 
when you live in a world
masked with fear

you will be sad at what you see
if you are looking at the world same as me

you will cry 
you will cry
hearing the stories of all of those 
who die

  • Separation

    Why does the rain 
    tap on the window
    when you can't feel it?
    Why will it remind you of 
    the dew drops dancing on the grass blades in early spring,
    of August's ocean breeze spraying saltwater in your hair, 

  • Empty

    The person is empty 
    the person with no identity 
    the one with no personality 
    Who doesn't now what yesterday was like or the day before
    Know one seems to know this person anymore 
  • Understanding

    Somewhere in my past
    a sunny snow day haunts me
    the serenity 
    Feels too cliche 
    to enjoy
    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
