An Ode to Virtual Learning
Because I’m still confused what the heck happened
An ode to virtual learning
The darkness pushes through my window as a draw myself out of bed.
The cold computer whirs on, as I go to back to rest my head
I don’t know what my first hour is, for I have never been
At this point I’m too afraid to ask, I don’t wake up til ten
My laundry load has began to dwindle, and these sweatpants are growing more and more ragged
But I enjoy the comfort of my home, with the new lights I added
So here is to the semester we spent learning out of school
The friends we never made
The tech problems which were so cruel
Here’s to the semester lost on the screen
I don’t wanna sound ungrateful
But this made me want to scream
To the people who will read and say this was a strange occurrence
They will not understand how hard it got
And how we persevered
But I’m pretty proud
Of getting through this year
