Pandemic

Ive ran 5 laps around the world in my mind

In my mind

That was just today 5 minutes ago

Time speeds up and flys by

Thoughts racing speed them up a million times

We’re going crazy

Stir crazy cause we wanna be free

But what’s this freedom we hold on to in our thoughts of the past

We were moving so fast

Moving so fast

We forgot how to love ourselves

We forgot

We forgot

So much that we grew scared of our own company

We realized we forgot how to really be there for the ones we love

And that was too...

scary

How’d we become strangers to our own homes

So ready to run away and out into the world

Sitting in a room filled with things

So many things we thought looked good

But the feeling in this house hasn’t been home for a long time

Our focus has been outside ourselves and our homes for so long

Consumed by things , things that when stripped from our reach leave us feeling empty

How is it that we’ve vested our souls and purpose in things that Keep us...

empty

It is a hard reflection many have met in their homes these days

A foundation of the truths we have cultivated

So drab ...

So bleak

We must learn to make this place warm...

Safe...

Again

This is the test our circumstances currently

And now our whole world is in question

Minds are being lost as the time ticks by

People will sacrifice people to sacrifice themselves

For one more taste of what normal used to be

You see this time is not requesting our evolution

But it is forcing us into it

It is a must

That we adapt

That we learn a new way

The resistance

Is futile

one that costs literal life or death

How many of us will face our shadows now

How many of us will step into our darkness

So that we can truly live in light

This is what this time requests of us

change

Deep unearthing change

Change that requires us to face ourselves

Face the truth of who we’ve been

To look at our own selfishness and see

Exactly who and what that has compromised

This is not for the weak

The cowardly

You must be brave and strong

Because the revelations will be gut wrenching

It will require you to pull yourself up from the the muddy ground

Weathered and broken time and time again

The old ideals an understandings will Not fall away easily

Not without a fight

So

Are you
