"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
