It started so small, little by little
Describing the pain was like telling a riddle
Each slice stung, but no one could see
No one knew the hurt it caused me

Each time you cut me down
I didn't make a  sound
Little by little you chiseled away
More and more papercuts day by day

Until I looked in the mirror and all I could see
Was the 1000 papercuts that now made me
Although each time it seemed so small
Collectively looking at them all
I don't know why I couldn't see
Each small cut took a toll on me

The day I walked away
I let your memory fade
Just hoping no one would see
The 1000 papercut scars you left me

Some days it rains
Some days it shines
Some days you're happy
Some days you cry
Some days create precious moments
Some days leave painful scars
Some days turns into a lifetime
And that is who you are

To some I look simple
To some I look lovely
To some I look nimble
To some I look ugly
But to all they don't know
To all they can't see
To all they will never know the depth of me

Alone she stood, tall and strong
Nothing could bend her; nothing could break her.
How could you bend or break the broken?
She stood there holding the pieces of her life.
Every day she wanted to throw these to the wind and start over
But nothing could bend, nothing could break
This is her life.

You see tears behind her cold eyes.
Tears that refuse to fall.
A smile that catches your eye,
Her smile filled with lies.
But something’s missing It makes you want to know;
It makes you keep on wishing,
You see her life is all for show.
Until you look into those sad cold eyes And see the tears that were never cried.
You feel her life of sadness sinking in From the tears which never would begin.
The love she didn’t get to see The hurt is her one memory.

One day you came and stopped the earth
You grew and grew, widespread from birth.
With a giant sweep you took away so much,
But one thing you cannot touch,
Is the human's ability to rise above.
You are a monster, you are a beast,
But little did you know we will create a better destiny.
You take our jobs, you take our lives,
But our innovation comes in strides.
Yes we are growing just like you,
As you try to destroy the world, we are creating ways to conquer you.
Don’t you worry we will be strong and win this battle,
COVID-19 I can’t wait to see you shatter.
You’ve taken our human contact for now,
But believe me when I say I’ll be hugging friends and family someway, somehow.
Because of you, I will appreciate more and complain less,
I won’t take life for granted; I will always feel blessed.
You came with a vengeance and the world is meeting you with passion,
Our love, our strength, our bond as humans is a chain reaction.
We will continue to fight and love each other more,
We will rebuild our lives and make it even better than before.

— The End —
