I graduated in 2020

When the first death by COVID-19 in the country happened

five minutes from my house

When we had to wash our hands after PE class

 

I graduated in 2020

People scared of the unseen

And kids bringing the virus home.

Increase in death rates

 

I graduated in 2020

Masks and lockdown

One week of break from school

turning into one year

 

I graduated in 2020

Online school

6 feet apart, no socializing

Locked inside our homes

 

I graduated in 2020

No senior sunset

Online graduation

No senior prom

 

Empty supermarkets

Rivalry on the streets

The unlucky class shall be known forever

For 2020 was the year I graduated


The author's comments:

I have written this piece right after my high school graduation in 2020. I was very frustrated with everything that had happened and putting it down on a piece of paper was the best thing I could ever do to feel better. 

My senior year was not as I planned it to be, but all my years in high school were worth it. :)
