POEM STARTER
Submitted by Margaret Sok
Write a poem or story around the theme of 'Lonely Together.'
Platonic Soulmates
You’re deeply depressed
I’m a total mess
We both have families
That leave us kinda stressed
So we spend our time in the dark
Texting and scrolling
Laughing together
Over stupid memes you show me
I text you late at night
When you know I can’t sleep
You text me in the mornings
‘Cause I know you need me
We both have a bout of depression
In 2020, late may
In our empty apartments
That drive us crazy
So you text me first
Then I text you back
I remind you you’re loved
You calm my panic atack
In the eye of a storm
With the whole world dying
We’re lonely together
But lonely is fine
To ~O,
for keeping me sane
