Inspiration: This is a short poem written for a competition ran by a literary journal. I don't really write a great deal of Poetry but the theme spoke to me. Theme; how Covid-19 has impacted you personally. I choose to write my true feelings about dealing with my mental health condition.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGDvA8CTW7
