with all we’ve seen this year
where’s the hope that it will get better
dread has crammed itself
into every pocket of our lives
this feeling of more shoes dropping
more devastation landing
on already piles high wreckage
an upcoming worrisome election
more and more people dying
from covid and violence
anger abounds in every major city
disillusionment rampant
four more months to go
i fear 2020 is not done with us yet

I think it’s not done with us either, but at least we are learning and adapting to the new norms so it won’t be like in the beginning – that’s my hope anyway.

That I would agree with, especially when the second wave hits.

I am holding onto hope with both hands (possibly in a choke hold) and running toward 2021 as fast as possible. I am almost too afraid to look to see what 2020 has left!
