Nov 2020
The path we take is like a long, winding road.
Twist and turns leads us in the face of danger,
But the danger is no stranger to us.
We’ve been down this road before.
We’ve been through hell and back.
Yet somehow, even though this experience.
Is different from the rest,
We’re scared.
We fear for our lives.
And those around us.
We want relief. We want normalcy.
But we know we must wait.
We must endure, we must persist,
And we must carry on.
We can see the horizon ahead.
Like a light at the end of the tunnel,
We know we’re not far from freedom.
We know if we push forward,
We can escape from this hell,
This purgatory we’ve been trapped in
For several years.
The end is in sight,
And this time
we will make it out.

The coronavirus pandemic has taken a turn for the worst. Hospitals are filling to capacity, families are losing their loved ones, and many are scared for their own lives. Due to partisan politics, relief won't happen anytime soon, but we must cling on to hope. Vaccines will soon be rolling out later this year for the first responders, and general availability for the rest of us in the Spring. There is a light at the end of this tunnel. We must push forward and make it out of this hell.
