Spy of high, its a poor's Cry Spare the Honest ,do not Pry
Don't You know it hurts so bad when my blue bird just can't fly
talk to the nobles, say my sigh i am so naïve, don't know to get by
Waking up, hoping, but realizing nothing will ever change, the hours, minutes, go by
nothing changing, more people getting sick and more people going crazy because of this

They announced the first case of COVID-19.
It won’t affect me for I’m a teen,
I’m ok.
My body’s young, immunity strong
I never stay sick for long.
Fresh air floating on the old urban streets
San Francisco is a ghost town.
The flowers are blooming silently,
Keep 2 meters away,
That means don’t come near me
As much as I love people,
Don’t come near me
What does this social distancing mean?It means,
I can write till my fingers bleed,
I can’t breathe.
It’s choking me -- suffocating me.
But I just let it.
All the air sucked from my lungs.
But I endure.
I live in a world where you turn your head away from fatal flaws like a moth turns to the light distracted from everything else. senses demobilized. I live in a world where the media decides what's important.

Hi Friend,Or, uh. . .
Maybe friend.
I only say
Maybe
Because it has been
52 days since I saw
You last.
This isolation journey has been so hard for me
Normally as an introvert I can do fine when I’m alone
So this isolating should be easy right
Except for someone like me
Alone, in silence,
trapped within my cognitive prison.
Lack of inspiration.
I want to start a movement,
but the world just stopped.
quality time and physical touch
my two love languages, forced to hide
forced into a space six feet apart,
five hundred miles and two computer screens away
social distancing from my bedroom floor
I’ll never see my parents if they hug too many people,
and I’ll never see my friends if they are crowded by a steeple,
and I’ll never see my lovers if they die before I meet ‘em,
One virus
Two latex gloves
Three thousand confirmed cases
For what reason?
Five years on job, lost
Six feet apart at all times
Seven weeks at home
Eight-teenth birthday: isolation celebration
Books piled up,
papers everywhere.
They’ll never burn,
or fly into the air.
Tassel hooked
on the wall.

It is crazy how we live in a world where we do not try to make a change until a life or
death situation is staring us in the face. Until we have to be six feet to save the human
COVID-19
It can be spread through just a simple touch
COVID-19
It has changed this world so much
The air is cleaner
I do not mind at all
My personal demeanor
Now that has taken a fall
Near means far, close means distant
We roam with slim hope, living in coexistance.
They claim "History is happening, the past is being made!"
"You'll be able to tell this story someday!"
In times like this, it is easy to feel scared and alone,
When you have no idea what's going on in the outside world because you are stuck at home.
With your loved ones so far away,
"social distancing"
No more dog walks at the park
Drive-thru or take-out
Grocery shopping
More time spent with family
Increased TV time
The fallen wings
A world for me and you
Ever wondered what’s a lie and true
In order to become cool
All we were doing was making ourselves a complete fool
We forgot what’s HUMANITY
What's there to be
Between you and me
If we're constantly separated?
It's been coerced
To remain dispersed
And sadly isolated.
After many suns and many moons
I wish that I could see you soon
I'm miserable.
It's killing me.
I can't see you,
hold you,
touch you,
and it's killing me.
I'm alone.
All alone in an abandoned apartment.
The silence, loud.
My head, messy.
Pandemonium at houses, hush across the streets
The centenary, probably worst of all centuries
Hashtag "StaySafe" , in the trending tweets
Disrupted nations, even as mighty as Chinese
***ADAPTED FROM ORIGINAL LYRICS WRITTEN BY ME***
I'll quarantine my heart
Keep it close but keep it far
From anyone
Who might say they love me
You should have been my cure
Your medicine was never pure
