A little piece I wrote about 2020. We went from reclaim to reclaimed. It happened in our own way and time.
reclaim
reclaim the impacts we have
self-care isn't selfish
who are we really stands out
our voice artistically one
make it scientifically important
how we see versus what we seek
faith turning into faithful moments
who we believed we aren't
rediscover hobby once loved
ways of connecting with people
the art of cooking at home
reading with fun in mind
nature helping lift our spirits
what we love about ourselves
rethink about habits to break
media we consumed weekly
little ways our money left
cost of spaces filled up
friendships that really mattered
render old into new creations
helping not just at the holidays
art being a tool for positivity
take a vacay escape reality
binge watch as we waited
ultimately said yes to 100% real
how much did we read
news filtered on the daily
second guessing every verse
life giving and changing
placing one quote on repeat
uplift on cloudy days
it began with redesigns
deleting apps and photos
unsubbed from countless emails
time began to simplify
one by one removed
let what matters rise
maybe all eco-friendly changed
baby steps have seen brightness
how care became therapeutic
teach new ways towards sustainability
whole ideas created single use
reuse is cool and waste less
at the end of the chaos
reclaimed so much
power to believe in ourselves
power to organize our lives
power to embrace quiet moments
power to find our own voice
power to smile and be kind
