There is almost a solace in the isolationA space to do what I want and thinkAn opportunity to reflectOn all of my mistakes and dreams
In this peace, I am alone in my thoughts and imaginationI am speaking to voices that fill the people I missSilence pulls in the middle of my chestIt is a profound loneliness I have never been more alone with the world, but closer with myself
A Necessary Evil, a parasite, a vicious cycle that takes away regular realities and creates brand new onesI reach my hand out and thankfully have my family
But some are trying to grasp and find nothingLess grounded with realityNot an ambient noise, but a mental restlessnessfor our minds wander easily
No one in the world understands youThe world itself does not know that it is black and blueWe do not know what to doBut it is beautiful how the world has come together in such unique ways
We put on our armor to keep each other safeCheered for each other and used creativity in many waysHugged the screen that should have been my friendAnd did my part the best I can
I hope to see everyone But we will not be the sameWe will laugh and hug but still have a fear
Go back to late-night partiesAnd early morning schoolBack to being alone with myselfAnd with everyone too
When we leave we are different and unsure how to actI think we can make it, but we have to be carefulThe world has changed againAnd let us hope for the better
