Covid-19

May 10th was my last day in society
I didn't leave my mountain for over a year
I didn't see my friends for almost two years
I cried
I screamed silently
I've stared at my wall for hours
I was lonely
My brothers were in school but I still homeschooled
My parents worked from morning till night to provide for us
And I was alone
I was alone for so long
I was alone for almost two years before I went to school for the first time
Kind of ironic timing to go to school
But I made friends
It lightened my cloud of sadness
I still cry
I still scream silently
I still stare at my wall
I'm still a little lonely
But my friends have lightened the cloud of sadness hanging over my head

  • When I left

    Since I left, so many things have changed

    My plants withered away

    My books degraded

    And people wondered

    What happened?

    But soon forgot my legacy

    My family left

    Following the sunset
  • The Ocean


    My home is the Ocean

    My home is the Beach

    I have made happy memories there

    Memories of joy, of freedom

    When I am there with my family we laugh, we have fun, we smile
  • A spirit

    Do you hear the whisper?
    The soft brushing of her voice against your ear?
    Do you hear her speak?
    Do you hear her question?
    Her question of "Will I ever be relieved of my duty and sleep?"
    Do you hear her screams?
    She lives
