I sit alone on this rock

I wonder how I got here

I continually check the clock

Get me out of here

This cannot be 2021

There is so  much that has gone

Shifting perceptions

Changing norms

I am happy to say

I don't like it... at all

As I sit here today

Raw

The night breeze cool on my face

I am still a part of the human race

The scary truth

Is that it is now set

Lest we forget

Our memories

Of the good

Surpass the bad

Perhaps we can be glad

To change

Those raw feelings.
