Dear COVID
Dear COVID-19
Where did you come from? Why are you shutting our schools? Please don’t do this, I am actually liking school more than I used to. Now this. Jeez, could this get any worse?! I’m just getting to know my friends more than I ever did, then you came along and RUINED IT! We’re now trapped in our homes till I don’t know when! Thanks a lot COVID, thanks very much.
Dear COVID-19
You know it’s the weekend, right? Usually I like the weekend, but I can’t even be bothered to get out of bed. I’m so worried about what’s going on, what’s going to happen to us. Will the schools close till 2021? I’m worried about my friends. Am I even going to be the same after this? Are my friends going to be? I don’t know. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see, won’t I?
Dear Mr COVID-19
HA! Well, you thought you could control my life but one thing you couldn’t control was the weather! It was glorious, we were outside all day! We had a BBQ, me and my brothers chilled out in the paddling pool, and when it got dark, we made s’mores. We forgot you even existed, that life outside our bubble was falling apart. So how do you feel about that COVID? I’ll tell you how I feel right now: fantastic!
Dear COVID
I’ve decided to spend time on finally learning to play the guitar. My dad has a few so can teach me and my brothers. You have made me really appreciate this time with my family, no distractions, no games, no school, just family. I have time to do anything. Well, not anything, we’re still not free from you... but hopefully soon.
Dear You
The walls in my bedroom feel so much closer now. I’ve been here trapped for so long it’s like a coffin, a coffin I can’t escape from. Why can’t you leave? Just die already.
Dear COVID-19
Even on the bad days I try very hard to see the light on the other side. It will happen soon and I’ll get to see my friends and family again. I hate you so much COVID but you won’t break me. Everything and everyone has a weakness, one day we’ll find yours and you’ll be nothing but a distant memory.
