School and Covid 1-7
COVID
Everything I built crumbles.
My job goes under
My friends disband
Some of them drop off the face of the earth
Others dealing with trauma for the first time
Nobody talks to me now but the boy
I move in with the boy
Our relationship is strong
My parents don't like him
I like him
They don't like me living with the boy
Despite the benefits to finances
They cant decide how much support to give me
And give me anxiety instead of stability
The boy graduates
I get one more year
HE and I no longer talk at Holiday
I think HE only comes for the food anyways
I finish school
While the school is still a husk
I didn't gain anything
But a flimsy piece of paper
Looking back
Nobody in the school believed in me
Or even thought of me
On a regular basis
That kinda hurts
I can’t even tell
If I failed the social circles
Or if they failed me
Covid Complicated matters
