Sheltered

The day my life became sheltered
In the midst of a deadly virus
It’s killing hundreds and
Spreading like a raging wildfire
I have to stay inside
And keep my head together
And try not to think 
Of the worst
Even though it is the worse
This invisible virus seems
To be creeping all over
The place
Laid off work
Shortage of necessities
That’s very hard to find
But you hunt for them continuously
Turning my life upside down
