Our Year

By: Ava S

We thought 2020 was going to be our year,

but it ended up being a year like no other.

Covid-19 began, and our strange year started to appear

One thing after another.

First there was quarantine, an overdose of isolation.

We were stuck at home, with nothing to do

We missed our friends and family, and hated the separation

And so much more, we were feeling blue

Then our schools started closing, and we were stuck remote.

We woke up, signed in, signed off, and went to bed

Everything was typed, not said, it seemed no day ended on a happy note

It was hard to socialize. It was messing with our head

There wasn't a day where our phone battery lasted

The only way to communicate was through texts

Our eyes were strained, and we were gasted

We didn't realize what screen time effects

Then it was required to wear a mask, even just to say hello

We couldn't see our loved ones without wearing one

This just made things harder, but little did we know

2020 wasn't done

Our cabinets were still full with toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

We just wanted this year to be gone and done

The news was depressing, it acted as a sensitizer

When will this end? we thought, now it's 2021.
