Hoping for Normality - Julia Juan

Hoping for Normality

It's been six months since normality

it took a while to reality

I've waited so long to see my friends

and I'm waiting for this whole thing to end 

now I'm not saying that it's all bad 

I made up for the sleep I never had

staying at home gave me more time 

and distractions kept me saying "I'm fine"

I saw the chance to pick up a book 

got lost in other worlds while in my nook 

I've tried things I've been meaning to try 

picked up old skills that would otherwise die 

I did lots of things that I enjoyed 

at the cost of focus which was destroyed 

back in spring, I had thought like a fool

teachers could be replaced by Google tools 

I'm losing connection to WiFI 

although lacking social skills, I still try 

getting kicked out of all my classes

and having to wear a pair of glasses 

in a sea of negativity

I knew that virtual was not for me 

frustration had quickly built up 

when summer finally came I had enough 

and now we're back to virtual learning 

and I find myself once again mourning 

my lost opportunity to see 

if we'd soon be back to normality
