Trying to remain poetic

In the midst of epidemic

And heartbreak

Solid earth starts to shake

Cancellations, I’m isolated

But I’m elated

I don’t have to see your face

Mandated personal space

I’ll be alright

When it rains, it pours

And I didn’t change my wipers

Like you said I should

We’re stuck inside

He’s an empty grocery store

And I am looking to survive

Smile though it feels synthetic

Self-pity, I feel pathetic

For missing you

Put your mask on and hide the truth

Self-reflection, finding direction

Scrub to the bone to feel some protection

I stop myself

Put you up in a box on a shelf

I’ll be alright

When it rains, it pours

And I didn’t change my wipers

Like you said I should

We’re stuck inside

I can’t see you anymore

But I can see the silver line

Line

Finally I can see the silver line

I’m gonna get through this

I’m gonna get past it

I’m gonna move forward

I know I have to

I’m gonna get through this

I’m gonna get past it

I’m gonna move forward

God knows I have to

I’ll be alright

When it rains, it pours

And I'm already indoors

So I guess I'm good

We’re stuck inside

You can’t hurt me anymore

'Cause I have found the silver line

Line

Silver line

I’m alright
