The smell of disinfectant,
Still lingers in the hall.
I can barely see my teachers,
I can't recognize them at all.
They're all wearing white bodysuits,
To protect them I suppose.
But their feet are wrapped so thinly,
That I can see their toes.
Their gloves are more like casts,
It must be hard to hold a pencil.
Going to our desks,
It's not so hard to sit still.
If this is school permanently,
I'm not sure that I want to go to school after the quarantine.

Grief
Stop.
Do not tell me that "it will all be okay!"
Because it won't.
It has been a year now;
The emptiness inside of my heart is still screaming.
It's quieter some days,
It's louder others.

Misplaced Trust, and What Comes After
I will give you my heart;
A little glass thing.
It reflects the stars burning in your eyes.
You will drop it on the sidewalk,
And call all of my broken pieces beautiful.
Pick it up shard by shard,
