Quarantine Nights

As we hit the four year anniversary of schools world wide closing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, writers from The Hive reflected on that time. This is one of those reflections.

What time is it? What day is it? 

It didn’t matter; everyday was the same. 

A mesh, destroying the concept of time. 

I wake up when I want.

I spent the last two weeks on repeat.

Sleep no longer mattered to me.

 

I would stay up and play video games with friends,

our laughter fading into the night.

Creating moments that would only become a distant memory.

 

I suddenly found myself with what felt like all the time in the world.

A world full of bliss.

Where I could do whatever I wanted.

 

There is something poetic about feeling free while I am locked up.

I'm 17 years old. My family is from Morocco and Jordan, but I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I enjoy movies, music, video games, comics, and poetry sometimes. My favorite movie is Blade Runner 2049 and my favorite superhero is between spiderman and moonlight. I listen to mostly rap artists with some being ASAP Rocky, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar.
