Dancing in my living room
Oblivious to the world

Why would I care if people are dying?
Why would I care if the world is burning?
If I don’t care it should go away
It would leave and never come back to this ungodly place
You said it’ll be over soon, right?
You said don’t worry
Moms got this

Thoughts keep me from sleep
No sleep is bad for a young child
No friends
No food
Eliminate distractions
That should help

Computers begin to rule the world
Can’t live without them
A burden on our life
Screens light up your darkened room
“Five more minutes”
Sound Familiar?

Pencils Scratch pages
Seeing people in person
But not really
Faces covered in a cloth
Safety reasons
Can’t explain

Dancing in my living room
Family cheering me on
