2020s so far. (two years in)

It's been two whole years since my mental breakdown Early 2020, before the global shutdown Had a broken laptop and a stolen wallet Lost all of my software, had to reinstall it Left a cheating partner who would constantly question The legitimacy of my deep depression The news would only cover petty jabs from our "leader" And some virus in China endorsed by the grim reaper We were told it was a hoax and it wouldn't affect us Another lie told, we'd learn in the next months Lost my high-paying job and my social life And people started dying on the left and the right It should have brought us together but it was politicized A stupid little mask and you've got science denied And as we all sat at home freshly unemployed Our screens showed us the public execution of George Floyd After Breonna and Philando and Alton and Eric Garner People saw a cop and would feel safer wearing armor The world took to the streets to protest the police I found myself in D.C. and while it was mostly peace Some riots broke out and it scared the suburbians Neo-nazis took advantage recruiting white trash guardians My family members rolled their eyes if I would even mention it Denial from the privileged went ahead and strengthened it Soon the election wrapped up and that seemed like the end of it Took all but six days before the next year went to shit An angry mob of losers tried to hang VP Mike Pence They broke into the White House and they almost found success And as I watched people I thought I knew jump to their defense I started getting real depressed and started drinking in excess Had a new partner now, thought we were perfect lovers In hindsight we were just enabling each other We were blackout driving on a Saturday night When in the rearview mirror we saw police lights The cops arrested her but left me on the street I had to walk home on the highway, then a car struck me They rushed me to the hospital to handle my brain bleeds And thanks to the pandemic no one could visit me I awoke four days later and had lost my memory Four days of my life gone and I was still feeling foggy Soon I hobbled out the hospital dragging my broken leg Physical and cognitive therapy on the reg And as I learned to live with my altered brain chemistry Some things that I had had before now were only history Libido, motivation, speaking without stuttering Enjoyment of the simplest things falling apart and crumbling The rest of 2021 was mostly spent recovering A lot of time alone doing some self-discovering Now here we are, only two years into the decade Already every aspect of my life has come to change If you told me this in 2019 I'd call you deranged This entire couple years have felt like they were staged But it's real, it all happened We're still here, wings still flapping I'm still alive so I'll keep doing what I do I survived, and so will you
