This chapter is a naïve little poem that Lizzie Read wrote near the beginning of the year, before the year even got all that bad. Love you all!
2020
By Lizzie Read
The year is 2020
Aren't we off to a great start?
A new year
A new decade
A new chance to change the world
The year is 2020
On New Year's I vowed
I will be happy
I will be strong
I will fix everyone's problems, including mine
The year is 2020
So far nothing has changed
People are still yelling
Hearts are still breaking
My cheeks are still stained with tears
The year is 2020
There are whisperings of a war
Everyone lives in their own fears
And everyone strives to save the world
But nothing can save us now
The year is 2020
I wish to god that we could do better
That we could end the strife
But change takes more than one voice
so far I can't hear anyone but me
The year is 2020
And it has so much to hold
Growing up and healing
Learning how not to fight
Changing history with our bare hands
The year is 2020
What will we do with it?
A/N Let's all shed a tear for my naïve little baby-self before the Corona-times... :P
