Entry 42 - prom queen, by Lauren Cazell

prom queen by Lauren Cazell (@lauren_cazell)

I am a high school senior with a passion for theatre, music, writing, and design (my art account is @violet.the.virgo). Next year, I will be attending Pace University as an Art major and minoring in Arts and Entertainment Management.

This poem describes my anxiety being a part of the Class of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. My world has been turned upside down in the last few weeks as I have lost graduation, prom, senior week, etc. It’s hard not to feel selfish because I know so many people in the world have it way worse.
