Jennifer Ottinger - Taking things in Stride

Voices and Echos resound
Bouncing off the cement walls
Everyone trying to be heard
Skin flushed with anger
Fists shaking with violence
Hearts racing with panic
It's a virus
The fear is going to reach
Very far and wide
Deep breaths, oxygen flowing
Calm
It's okay to be scared
One step, minute, thought
Just go with the flow
