Seth, 15 – Hartford CT
In the past month my life has changed
I continue to wake up with hope that it may be a dream
But nothing has changed
I get to stay home from school which is something every child complains
But now that I’m home everyday
I apologize for my complaints
I now realize that I took life pre-quarantine for granted
Not being able to write essays or play basketball for the school team
Has left me clueless on if i’m right or left handed
For any teacher I’ve ever annoyed I apologize for my antics
And I appreciate you for giving me so many chances
Life without going outside has been tough
My brain needs to experience the outside world and
Social media is not enough
My new reality is pretty rough
This is my new life
Nothing I feel nothing most of the day
I’ve seen every funny video,
Every movie, listened to every song, played every video game
And now besides online school, I have nothing look forward too
Sometimes, I take hours to do an assignment
I can do in probably 30 minutes just feel like I have something to do a little longer
Just to feel like I’m making my brain a little stronger
After all my work is done my brain just wonders
It wonders in an abyss of hopes that the pandemic will end soon and what I’ll do once it’s over
To deal with my new life
I just visualize doing all the things that I love
And watch memories in my camera roll
And sometimes facetime a friend or two
Is this my new life?
Maybe this is my new life
