ENTRY #3: "I AM THE CORONAVIRUS"
("Alexander Hamilton" - Hamilton) How does a wretched virus Son of a bat or an anteater Dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot In Wuhan China With Fever and coughing and aches Grow up to be a world wide disaster The school stopper, everything was so shut down So it became famous By making us work harder Doctors and nurses hollered They wanted to get started on a cure So everyone went into quarantine And everyday, the virus was getting stronger and stronger, they say But another day it struggled to keep its guard up outside people longed for people to be a part of they stay in which knocked it all down harder and harder together we all came, more people did the same and it all reduced the pain which was dripping down the drain well the word got around they said, everything is insane man took a few more weeks to get everything back the same man got back our education, don’t forget from where you came and the world united and stayed and we fought you, whats your name man? I am the coronavirus Otherwise COVID 19 And millions took me on They didn’t wait. They didn’t wait |

("When Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground" - Finding Neverland) When did life become so complicated? There is no T.P. thank god i’m constipated The shelves are empty every place Proof that we have truly lost our way When did life become this place of madness?

ENTRY #21 - "FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER"
(Disney's Frozen) Nothing is open Close that door I have to use an online store How could I just stay inside all day? Though school has had its trials and all From constantly staring at the wall I never thought we’d have to leave this place No more interacting with people Not even one exchange I never knew my family was this strange! ‘Cause for the first time in forever I have to make food on my own For the first time in forever I will be totally alone And sure, there’s FaceTime and Snapchat But it’s different through the phone ‘Cause for the first time in forever I’m stuck inside my home I can’t wait to get back to school next week. What do you mean three weeks?! I guess I’ll be inside my room Never waking up until the noon Life just has a much more slower pace I’m constantly tempted to go outside The danger doesn’t seem applied It’s not like this is something we will face I walked outside one evening And thought of traveling far If only I knew how to use a car For the first time in forever There’s no magic, there’s no fun For the first time in forever I can’t hang out with anyone And I know it’s totally selfish To want to be with friends But for the first time in forever I need a family cleanse Don’t let them in Don’t let them see Wash your hands every time you sneeze Conceal, you’ll heal Cover your nose Stay in your house today and tomorrow It’s for a couple weeks (It’s for a couple weeks) My boredom’s at its peak (my boredom’s at its peak) You’re telling me it’s only been - one week? (one week?) For the first time in forever (Don’t let them in, don’t let them see) This is a nightmare coming true (Wash your hands every single time you sneeze) To say goodbye to those I knew (conceal) To say goodbye to you (Conceal, you’ll heal, cover your nose) I know it is almost over But I don’t want to wait ‘Cause for the first time in forever For the first time in forever My skies are turning gray! |

ENTRY #24 - "STOP"
(Mean Girls) Ironically I need to scare you straight Because this is not how we stay safe We get these itches and we just can’t wait But there is a crisis. You need to cough right In the air Cause you have no impulse control So before you cough sneeze, itch or god forbid, walk right past your sink- Here is my advice... Stop! When you sense a sneeze and your hand goes right up to your nose to catch one- Stop! Grab a tissue and stop! Stop! When you just took a walk And you don’t think you Need to wash all your fingers, Stop! Sing happy birth day and wash! (happy birthday to you) I know it’s hard but try. Don’t instantly hack right by. My god girl it’s a global crisis! You really need to stop, Stop ! You’re gonna spread the germs and then who’s gonna get the virus... You’re grandma! When you cough and you sneeze til you just can’t stop It keeps coming out like Real vomit! Stop! Stay home and stop! Yes, we all get sick and ignore it sometimes. Damian, tell them about art camp- At art camp, I played Lumiere And I quickly got the flu. I’d run to practice hurling and coughing Not once, but thrice! I talked and talked spreading my germs And my co-star and I laughed all day And during the show She hacked up a lung and she started to run off stage. Cause no one told me to stay at home And to cover my coughs, Because you could spread The flu ‘cuz science Stop! |

I’m alone, i mean there’s mom and dad and our toilet paper reserve But frankly, I’m now in my last nerve Just trying to find ways to pass by all the time Can’t visit my friends, and school work is online I got no things exciting me Like a fire just died in me I try to FaceTime with my family But they’re ignoring me Did you ever get a feeling The whole wide world is stopping To stop this stupid virus That people can’t endure It’s a scary, scary feeling But it’s running through my body And I’m bored I’m bored Mom: maybe we should do a virtual family game night Mom, I would love that! Let’s all try something new! We’re stuck in our house, what else are we supposed to do? Got so much time to cry There’s no new things to try Maybe I’ll just say in my bedroom As my boredom multiplies Did you ever get a feeling The whole wide world is stopping To stop this stupid virus That people can’t endure It’s not a very good feeling And it’s not exhilarating Yet, it roars It roars It roars Okay, maybe it’s not that bad now At least we have all these screens Plus, there are buds now on all the greens It’s tough Challenge accepted I’ll just huddle up with my pack And now the virus can’t attack Gotta fight for the right to keep myself safe Think everyone is feeling like me But eventually It’ll be over Be over Did you ever get a feeling Everybody wants connection No, I can’t go see my friends But I got the whole house to explore! Cause I know you know this feeling And we all need that connection at our core You can’t ignore Roar |

ENTRY #30 - "QUARANTINE"
("Popular" from Wicked) Whenever I see some who starts to cough and sneeze And let’s face, lots of people now will cough and sneeze. I start to worry about COVID-19 And when someone moves to touch their face It's simply such a big disgrace I know, I know exactly what they need And even with this case Though it's the toughest case we’ve yet to face Don’t worry I’m determined to stay clean Follow my lead And yes indeed, we will be.. Quarantine! We have to be quarantined You’ll learn how to chat on Zoom While you’re stuck in your room All the ways to try to learn Oh! You’re not going anywhere So don’t fix your hair No one here is judging you, when we’re.. Quarantined! We have to be quarantined You’ll learn how to wash your hands (For twenty seconds) and All the things you need to know So let’s start Cause we have an awfully long way to go Don’t be all frightened by this new shelter-in-place Think of how we all are helping save the human race Now that we've chosen to keep more than Six feet in between us Viruses can't reach us That’s why we stay in Quarantine! We’re so bored in quarantine We’ve tried playing family games And we have high aims But some always seems to cheat *ahem* Ally There’s nothing here we can do While we're stuck in quarantine! |

ENTRY #35 - "DON'T CRY FOR ME, QUARANTINA"
("Don't Cry for Me, Argentine" from Evita) "It's pretty easy, you'll think I'm strange When I try to explain how I feel that after ten days I'm still having fun. You won't believe me All you will see is a girl who likes school But now she never goes outside And stuck with her lame family too. I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't spend all my life sad and blue Looking out of the window, wanting some sun. So I chose screen time Sitting around, reading some books too And it never got boring at all I really expected it to. Don't cry for me Quarantina The truth is I'm doing ok Instead of school days I'm in my PJs I kept my promise I social distanced. And as for theatre, and as for school I never really missed them Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired They are illusions They are not as much fun as they seemed to be The answer was here all the time I have books and I have my TV Don't cry for me Quarantina Don't cry for me Quarantina The truth is I'm doing ok Instead of school days I'm in my PJs I kept my promise I social distanced. Have I said too much?" |
