Isolated at home with only my thoughts
Life was terrible hard
Then the opportunity came in the form of a ‘zoom’
To talk and explore and the chance to grow
We were asked to write down what our hopes would be
So we could see how far we could grow
So I had a moment and began to wonder
What could this do for me
So my first thing was to be comfortable and be able to trust
Then came a safe place to share what I wrote (If I could)
Next was just people to interact with and not feel so alone
And most important of all was to learn who I was again
The anxiety was real and the panic set in
A new way to interact with my peers
But very soon the feelings started to ease
And I was glad that I had joined
So week after week we met up on the screen
And relationships started to grow
And soon my creativeness started to show
All too soon a sad topic came up
As ‘endings’ was the end of the show
But what I had gained and how much I had grown
Made the ‘ending’ much easier to swallow
So Monday mornings are bleak with the loss of my ‘zoom’
But I have to remember with out ‘endings’ new things can’t start to grow
So it was time to build on those hopes and myself
Time to start something new
