The Interrupted Two Weeks

The Interrupted Two Weeks
by Shawma

Everyday is the same routine
Do work, Eat, Watch Tv, and Sleep
Before any of this started I was a college student enjoying the life of an average freshman 
Going to parties, maintaining a minimum wage job, going to class, and just being social
That has changed 
Coronavirus has taken over my life
I literally feel trapped in a box
Every day spent in the house
Nowhere to run to 
No one to talk to 
Can’t run to counseling when I have anxiety attacks anymore 
6 feet of distance they say
Can’t hear nobody 6 feet away unless they’re yelling at you
Social media has become an outlet for the virus
All you hear about is the coronavirus every day it’s just upsetting
How this virus seems to be all that everyone’s talking about
Social media is just a constant reminder to me of how the coronavirus is taking over my life
I’m out of a job
Classes got transferred to online 
I’m an anti-social butterfly now 
My first year of college got ended early because of a virus
Who knew mother nature could be so cruel 
This situation has caused my anxiety levels to go out of control
I feel like I’m at raging war with myself every day that I’m trapped in the house no one to talk or no where to go
I know I’m being all negative about the situation
But there are upsides to it
Coronavirus has taught me to appreciate mother nature more
I feel like as human beings we take the simple things in life for granted
It’s not until all of your freedoms are taken away and you’re left with nothing that you realize so much that you take for granted 
I feel like coronavirus taught us all a lesson that you have to enjoy the simple moments and simple things in life to be happy 
Those simple moments and simple things make us happy
Little do we realize
