"My Most Faithful Supporter" by Anonymous

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

“They're On The Front Lines, So You Can Enjoy Your TikTok Times” by Jasmine Wren

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

"Untitled" by Amelia Tisk

I’ve always felt so alone No one to love, no place to call home My heart had grown cold Because the people I loved liked to come and go. So I closed myself off I did not want to be hurt Until he showed me the warmth I craved, And soon after my heart was enslaved To the man I grew to love His crooked smile swept me off my feet Which was hard for others to compete, And as I laid in his arms For once I felt complete Was this what I was missing? A sense of security? A sense of safety? No longer was I reminiscing About the ills done before I finally felt like I belonged I felt like I was home Who would have thought a scrawny boy could change so much I am no longer alone I have someone to love, someone who is my home Now my heart is full and warm Because the person I love won’t come and go.
