This quarantine has left us wrecked
Mental illness we can no longer neglect
nearly everyone has become depressed
family bonds have been put to the test
This level of trauma is hard to bare
We were nowhere near prepared
People say this might happen again in the future
Hopefully it’s just a rumor
Only time will tell
Hopefully we can break this spell
I wish we could be sure
Because it is not something I wish to re-endure
Even when this clears
I will still live in fear
With a pantry fully stocked
a secret stash of hand sanitizer locked
Maybe then I won’t be so shocked
People have died
Yet some believe it’s all a big lie
The way this seems to work
I am sure it will lurk
In the back of our minds it will stay
Until it comes back one day
