Before the sickness we sat in our desks and participated in daily complaints
We begged to go home,some of us wished to throw our education away
Then BOOM the virus came and now we sit and look out our bedroom window panes
We recall a time in which we thought roaming the school halls was lame
But now we live with fear not knowing if our lives will ever be the same
We dreaded writing homework down in our planners so we did it with dismay
But look at us now,with no schedule we have lost track of the days
Of course the school lunch made our tummies unhappy and upset
But now we can’t even throw milk cartons at our friends while we discuss tests
We covered our ears as we traveled through the overcrowded hallways
Now we would do anything to go back to the last day we heard the school bell rang
A euphoric feeling of going to football games even though we knew our team wouldn’t win
Now we are forced to imagine our old lives and dread that this virus may never come to an end
It’s absurd how we use to exclaim in school that we needed space
Because sadly now we yell at the screen because we cant speak face to face
It was the wretched stench of the bathrooms that made us feel queasy
The life we wanted outside of school has brought us chains-it has been anything but easy
There were days we believed that school was the worst place on earth to be
We hated every graph every essay and every line we even began to disregard history
Why did we say we didn’t need school in out lives when in gave us what we needed
Now we cant return and everyone acts like they have been cheated
It was the teachers that impacted our view on school the most
Now memories of raising our hands have become ghosts
We no longer hear the forbidden whispers in the classroom
But instead are forced to hear the static and lagging of our meetings on zoom
School is starting and some of us are forced to stay at home
We won’t even know how it feels to record our class memories on our phones
See we are the strongest there is because we are able to adjust and laugh it off
We are shacked in our rooms because one is suspected to have the virus when they simply cough
