In the moment everything seems normal
Everyone in one place
Finally together
I do not remember this feeling
For it has been a while
I feel safe
From all the hate in the world
From the fear that has taken over
Fear
A silent spreader
Something a mask cannot cover
The guilt we put out
To save one another
The darkness that light cannot reach
In the unknown times
Fighting is not the answer
It is time to come together
To create peace and love
We are all battling the same battle
Of war and health
The violence created
The fight for equality and justice
Now is the time
To stand as one
To conquer the fear
And to just breathe
