Coming Back to Life

What do you say when
You've been gone so long
No matter the message
It's bound to be wrong

Mentors, supporters,
New friends and peers
I let them all fade
Because of some fears

I let myself flounder when
I should have been strong
Instead got distracted
It went on too long

Life is a challenge on
the best of our days
Brings out our courage
In frightening new ways

So there's a pandemic
And money is tight
There's no use just hiding
We must put up a fight

I've since learned a lesson
Right down to the bone
No matter what happens
We can't do it alone
