The Silver In 2020's Lining
Mentally released
From a cage of
Societal expectations!
Living through the new revelations,
Found in the book
Of revelations!
Now the whole
Society's caged
By a diagnosed Pandemic
That Raged
From Sea to Shining Sea.
It was a feeling
that blanketed the world,
and while some felt restricted,
I sought out a silver-lining
or oysters filled with pearls.
Let's put it in a way
of understanding,
If your career was your identity
Before the shut-down
And now
You were furloughed,
Then the
Weight of this was deeply felt.
Some of us creatives
Who worked day jobs,
Finally felt it
As a Freedom
For the first time since
being an adult.
But in this midst of this
general revolt,
We all felt
the outcries of
humanity.
Thus
creating a community
Of different colors
Fighting against the inhumanity
Of a Blue Wall.
I felt connected to it all,
As well
As I believe
It affected Ya'll!
Yo,
The energy was off!
And it all stemmed from a universal
Cough.
I heard it
But stayed secluded,
In my bubble of just telling stories.
The pressure of having
To work a day job
For the moment
Has evaporated
And now
In it's place
Is the focus
Of fostering my creative
style of writing.
And negating
The needs for financial security!
This is how
I wanted to live life
in all its purity.
