A year into a pandemic

I have more facial hair, but less hair on my head, I shaved it

Maybe I just wanted a change of pace

After being stuck at home for a whole year

I have seen the world change, not for better or worse, simply change.

I cannot tell when people smile anymore underneath their mask

There are crowds, but they are small, they are scared

I've mostly lost the ability to believe in the better good now I think

There are a lot of people still hurting

But the world is slowly healing in some ways, but bleeding in others

I worry that this year taught me things I didn't want to learn

But I cannot help but wonder where the next year will take me

Overall, I think that humanity has a lot to learn, but I think I do too
