Feelings While Quarantined

Sudden fear struck by body
And I could barely breath
Move or speak
When I first heard about
The corona virus and
All its destruction
It's even scarier to
Believe that it's in
Your city and your town
What makes it even worse is
That I don't know who it
Has already attached itself to
Could be my family or
My closest friends
Now I'm stuck in isolation
Like a butterfly in its cocoon
I tried to escape but couldn't
I want to breathe
A breath of fresh air
On the outside
But I'm afraid it's in the air
While I'm stuck at home sitting
In quarantine
I learn to invent new things
That made me happy
Even cleared my head
Of all the cobwebs
Made up some new games
I even focused more on my life
I believe that we shall overcome
I also made up my mind 
To live each day
Like it was my last!
