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
