Reclaim

 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
