So Many
So many places to go
So many books to read
So many box sets to binge
So many classes to take
So many films to watch
So many places to walk
So many restaurants to try
So many conversations to have
So many friends to visit
So many photos to snap
So many sites to see
So many bands to experience
So many shows to take in
So many songs to listen to
So many instruments to play
So many courses to study
So many meals to eat
So many clothes to buy
So many channels to flick
So many languages to learn
So many apps to use
So many miles to run
So many scenic routes to drive
So many orders to place
So many styles to wear
So many magazines to browse
So many nights to have out
So many hobbies to take up
So many, I can’t take it
So many, too many, too much

About This Poem
"It’s unbelievable what can happen in the space of a few weeks. On the 12th February 2020 I submitted this poem to Dust Magazine, expressing how I felt at the time. Little did I know, that only a few weeks later, I would have so many of these options taken away from me. My feeling now is that when I finally get them back, and hopefully, we all will, I will be so grateful for them and never take them for granted again. If there’s one thing I will take from this whole situation, it’s perspective and gratitude. I’ve now come to realise I don’t need to do all these things, it will be enough to just have the option to do them should I chose to."
