SYNOPSIS

K. Reilly


Been two years and I can't shake it

Every single day I have to fake it

Living in normalcy just to make it

This is the light as long as I take it


Just the start of another work day

Back from vacation, wish we could stay

The kids are being taught a different way

Chalk dust dropping as we learn to spell "may"


Last bell rings and I'm feeling dizzy

I can't see straight or stay on my feet

It's a long drive home, should've just stayed in bed

Is this temporary or the new norm instead?


Went to the doctor, it didn't help

Mom's in the hospital, what about myself?

Blinding anxiety starts to appear

Should I see another doctor to wash away my fear?


Dust settles and I think I am calm

Will I ever escape the eye of the storm?

Living in normalcy just to make it

This is the light as long as I take it
