Out there every day saving lives From little children to husbands and wives, Out there on the front lines,  Just trying to push through these hard times. New graduates running straight to hospital  Providing services that are vital, Young and old each taking a turn, Working so long, till their eyes burn Some are mothers and fathers  Hoping they don't endanger their sons and daughter Fearful for their lives and others  Standing up to ignorant protesters Bruises all around their face  Yet they still work another case Grateful for all they do  Constantly working to save me and you

I’m stressed  The month of May has just begun One thing after the next thing is flung into the mix I don’t have time to dwell, only to progress I have to assess each step  The overdramatic feeling of everything being ruined has long passed The next chapter is coming, and coming fast The past feel so far, and the future too near  I’m not ready, I fear School hasn’t prepared me well enough to go from teen to young adult in the course of 2 months  I feel like a lamb to slaughter, unprepared and unaware The best year has turned into our worst year  I’m questioning if where I’m going is right  Despite never having doubts before  Cold feet, and sweaty palms  These qualms are heavier than imagined These qualms make my brain overactive when I’m suppose to be inactive  These qualms cause hot flashes of anxiety  These qualms make mood shoot south when dwelling too much  I would have never predicted how much I would struggle as a senior  I would have never predicted how stressed a worried I’d be

Months into quarantine and my mom is still  Giving motivation for everyone at the house To be productive and finish work I ask myself these three questions everyday Will I graduate? Is it worth it to spend over 4 hours on a computer a day? Do I even have a chance to graduate? Here goes my mom to encourage me Motivate me Enlighten me Uplift me My mom is the reason why I get up every morning To 20 notifications on google classroom  And actually decide to do it It feels like I'm being bombarded all at once with the assignments. Thanks for being my supporter at all times
