Notes About The Poem

Early days pandemic in lockdown

-Confined

Day after day unable to roam
Doing what’s needed
Staying safe, staying home

Week upon week inside a confined space
Nowhere to go
No other place
 
Good days positive
Fun and laughter galore
Reflection of life and memories before

Grateful, appreciative
For all life provides
Content for protection, safe inside
 
Bad days negative
Unbearably long
Nothing right, everything wrong
Frustration, worry, uncertainty, fear
Tired, lazy, future unclear

Motivation fading
No end in sight
Unsettled times
A challenging plight
 
Worries, woes consuming the mind
Insanity looming being confined
Leaving the home a difficult chore
Struggling to get passed the front door

Feelings of anguish, sadness, dread
Apprehension not knowing  what lies ahead
 
Our world is responding to a time unsure
This virus can come knocking at anyones door
So let’s work together stay safe and contained
So we can roam our earth in freedom again
