I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, Every time I leave home, I feel the gentle breeze caressing my hair, Each time I leave for work, Yet, the distant morning don’t feel the same anymore, For things are no longer the way they used to be. Family & friends are no longer faces I see every day, Neighbours are no longer people I meet & greet, And colleagues have now become occasional struggles, What’s more? The outbreak has truly destroyed our livelihoods, Leaving us with nothing but hope. Hope for all of this to end, Hope for a miracle in these unsolicited times, While we push ourselves to the core, To stay alive in this uproar.

The New Normal
I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, Every time I leave home, I feel the gentle breeze caressing my hair, Each time I leave for work, Yet, the distant morning don’t feel the same anymore, For things are no longer the way they used to be. Family & friends are no longer faces I see every day, Neighbours are no longer people I meet & greet, And colleagues have now become occasional struggles, What’s more? The outbreak has truly destroyed our livelihoods, Leaving us with nothing but hope. Hope for all of this to end, Hope for a miracle in these unsolicited times, While we push ourselves to the core, To stay alive in this uproar.
