Pandemic
March 2020 a two-week school closure
Suddenly everyone is so careful about exposure
Out of nowhere Covid just appears
My future is now unclear
Schools are now canceled until the end of the year
Everyone's worrying about the ones they hold dear
I now start 7th grade on Microsoft teams
It is so surreal that it is almost a dream
I become so very tired of isolation everyday
The end is never near and there is always delay
Covid reaches its one-year anniversary
I start to see my sister preparing for university
I notice covid reaches an all-time low
Eighth grade starts and it's time to go
Back in person is going so well
But omicron is coming and it’s spreading like hell
My school avoids going back online
I continue to go to school and have a good time
I become more relaxed and ready to learn
I think Covid was crazy and hope it won’t return
