Corona Delay

Monesha Ross,
East Side Community High School

I think it’s the staying in, I think
Being in my room, staying in my room
The comfort, conformable
The continuity of developed laziness

Work, assignments due,
The lack of motivation, inspiration
Drained.
The continuity of pushing forward,
Not giving up. I think

Achievements, awards eliminated,
Enjoyment, excitement abolished,
On pause, or is it gone?
Adjusted schedule, routine
Flubbed, flawed.
