This Crazy Ride


this whole experience 
has been like a trip to somewhere no one is sure even exists
no one has a clue what will happen to us
this whole universe is driving in the same car
yet we're so far apart
having no clue where we're going and no way to get back home
it's like the vehicle has taken over control
and there are no break petals
we're zooming past the trees and hills that have always lived there, and we think, why did we have to change our lives, if these hills get to stay exactly the same? and these trees get to change their color only when they're ready, and then drop their leaves when the time feels right?
but we are beginning to understand
if we work together there is a chance that we'll be able to stop this car and end this crazy ride
if we only work with each other
to make
our
lives
blank
again

    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
