Waking up every morning

Not truly living

But putting on a smile

Is the only thing deceiving 

Spending hours

Laying with my phone

Should be together 

Yet i’d rather be alone

missing the days where I could 

go to class

And grow weary in doing 

every little task

Go outside 

be joyed and play

But instead i have to mask 

Every single day

I desire to hang with friends

Laugh and smile

Still it turns out

I won’t see them in a while

The tides are clean 

and the grass is green

Though i deteriorate 

As an online school teen

The day we were separated

Sent back home

Ive never really felt the feeling

Of being alone

I really wish

I had said goodbye

Covid

I hope you Suffer the same pain 

as I
