What’s The Hardest Part of School For You Right Now?

A poem dedicated to students out there roughing out this pandemic

I asked: What’s the hardest part of school for you right now?

Staying Organized it’s hard with so much piled on top of our plates to be told that staying organized is the way to manage it all when also perhaps the pandemic plate is smaller because a nice generous helping of pandemic stress itself takes up half or more of that plate so perhaps instead of organizing the rest of the plate what we need is fewer piled items upon our shoulders.

Being in the closet hiding a secret is evermore difficult when you’re no longer immediately surrounded by the friends who support you and may be spending more time lounging in a home that is nice, yes, but perhaps composed of people from another era unwilling to accept who you truly are.

Doing work online and trying to have the motivation to do them when all that you have in connection with the world is through the pixels on your screen, your butt, back, shoulders tired, from sitting all day, both leisure and work overwritten on the same spot, how much longer will we need to be like this?

May you be able to find pockets of rest, be able to say no, have others receptive to your boundaries, have others to connect to despite differences and may we finally pull out of this pandemic situation soon, I send you hope.
