For The Ones We Love Most


don't follow me like this
don't keep chasing me when i try to run away
try to hide
i feel you coming closer
you've cornered me
i have my head in my hands and my heart beating louder than ever
i try to fight back but i have't got the energy
you taunt me in my sleep
giving me dreams of the ones i miss most
the ones you've forced me to live without
when will you leave me be
when will you stop this cruelty
you've trapped us for long enough
it's time we decided not to let you under our skin
time to keep on loving no matter the distance between us
we must unite
leave quarentine behind
stop getting lost in our sadness
we have the power to be there for each other
even if birthday parties and sleep overs are cancelled, you can never end the feeling of happiness for having the amazing friends we do
not if we don't let you
and we never will
Covid-19 has hurt us in so many ways, but we still need to be strong for the people who need us. our friends, our families, and ouselves included

    Why does it feel
    like I'm being pushed back to the
    lonely
    unpredictable
    days of 2020

    The Spring was a beginning of
    something no one knew about
    it was strange and confusing
    and made me hurt with longing

     Things are getting better
    but still not great
    only just barely good compared to what we had before...

     We were so lucky
    to have our friends always by our sides
    literally!

    So yeah it has gotten better
