My top 5 Learnings from the COVID Year- 2020-21 – By Miheeka Bagla 

  1. Hygiene 

Not, just me, 

But in fact everybody, 

Has finally realised the importance of Hygiene, 

To stay spick-spack and clean! 

And all thanks to COVID-19 

  1. Technology 

Imagine where we would be  

In this pandemic without technology? 

Imagine not even being able to communicate online! 

Everybody would just constantly whine!!! 

The importance and quick use of technology 

Is something we have all very well learnt in 2020! 

  1. Family 

Something that sticks with us through thick and thin 

Through pandemics like this, help to come out and win 

Something that really doesn’t need more of a description 

A place where one always gets love and affection! 

To realise the true meaning of that feeling 

Is something that in 2020 we have started learning! 

  1. Hobbies 

When has one ever gotten so much time, 

To be passionate about what they are passionate? 

To draw, cook, create or rhyme? 

To do the few things that they really want to do 

For which they keep trying to borrow time 

But lands up on that list titled “Later” everytime 

2020 has taught us to do what we want to do 

That our hobbies matter too.. 

  1. To Be Grateful 

When have we ever thought, 

“Oh how lucky I truly am to go to school and eat out 

To meet my friends and roam about!” 

When we realised that these little things is what we actually wanted 2020 taught us, and taught well indeed, 

To not take things for granted!

Depression

Depression

I used to feel like running away and daydream of leaving everything and everyone behind. Not forever, just as long as it took for me to feel better. To be okay again. I thought that if I went somewhere new and different, that I’d be different, and by different, I mean feeling like my old self again. I felt unsettled, discontent. Like I was being pulled towards something but I couldn’t see what that something was. And that “not knowing” caused me anxiety, stress, feelings of depression and sadness.

The Face Behind the Mask

The Face Behind the Mask

My name is Amberly Clark, I am 14, and I wanted to try my hand at poetry. I love to write articles and short stories, but nothing can portray a message so deeply as a poem. I wanted to talk about mental health. As teenagers, we often feel like we are drowning. Like no one understands, and I hope that with this poem people finally will.
