“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

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.
