36 Butterfly Quotes That Will Inspire and Motivate You

Oh, I did not worry, when the Covid-19 pandemic hit; for I am a loner on this journey, suited to isolation I had to admit. Lots to read, paint and draw, and DVD movies to watch I already saw; but I got quiet and I began to withdraw, deeper I fell; into some kind of living hell. And to so called friends I said farewell ! So with courage and mask on I ventured outside, I went to the store and took a bus ride; social distanced with pride, I buried the introvert who was me deep inside. __________________________ July 24, 2020 Poetry/Rhyme/The Introvert Who Was Me Copyright Protected, ID 20-1271-263-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the PREMIER contest, Isolation Philosophy sponsor, Chantelle Anne Cooke Second Place

Sometimes we need to put aside our seclusion and walk outside with the world for a change. It is great that we learn to evolve. Congratulations on your win Constance!
