An Abrupt Change of Plans
This time last year, I couldn't wait
to see the brand new year. I had
well thought out plans. I was going
to start afresh and start anew.
I was going back to school and do
something that I always wanted
to do. My goal was to go back to
school and get into the healthcare
field. I was a nurse's aide several
years ago.
As soon as got my taxes I was going
to enroll in school. But the dreadful
pandemic hit and put my dreams on
hold. It felt like my life was passing
me by.
In 2020, I have experienced fear,
hurt and complacency. However,
I have felt sadness the most.
Sadness for the folks that lost
their lives to an invisible enemy
A.K.A. Covid 19.
I feel stuck in between the land
of broken and unfulfilled dreams.
But in the midst of all the noise
and chaos in my soul.
I have hope that all will get back to
normal one day. I came to realize
that without hope it would be real
hard to face each new day.
