Context/prompt: I was sitting in my AP lit class and decided to write a poem, it's about quarantine.
In the darkness
my soul seemingly stopped
memories of friendships and hugs
fill my every thought
spread eagle on my bed
as I allow sleep to take me
I pray that soon they'll say
we'll be going back to school next week
supposed to be listening
But my head is in the clouds
wondering if I'll ever get in trouble
for not paying attention again
staring at the screen
my soul seemingly frozen
wishing with all I am
to sing amongst a group again
sat inside, upon my bed
haven't left my room more than twice in ten days
wondering if ever again
will I go downtown to see a movie with my friends
It's been almost a year
and still I am waiting
for the day to come
when I can hug the rest of my family
