Growing up during a pandemic
This one is for the kids
The ones who may not have their proms
Or pomp and circumstance
The ones who miss their friends IRL
The ones who only know fear
And terror
And pandemics
It wasn’t supposed to be this way
It wasn’t always this way
And it won’t be forever
It is a blip in time
A Snapchat of a message
A tweet with too many hashtags
We wish you didn’t have to know only this
Only extremes
There was a simpler time
We may
In fact
Be returning to it
