Weeks In the House Have Changed Me

That evil thing has changed my soul,
I close myself in the house alone.
No longer do I talk – not even on the phone.
I am fed my head turned away.

Groceries are shoved through a tiny space,
Missing many I’ve learned to make do
The strange position I have adopted,
Inside these walls I have learned to fear you,

And enjoy my solitude.

Many fear it and are self isolating...It is difficult times but hopefully it will be all over soon..

I think we are all changing... though we miss the interactions of others, and working, we are afraid to be around them, afraid to venture out for fear of what we can't see... good write Sunlite stay safe, hugs and blessings

I understand who would have ever thought we would have come to this. I think it has slowed me down to consider the real important things in life.

it is such a tough time for many Sunlite and being confined to the house can be soul destroying and can lead to depression, I have on line friends who don't even bother to get dressed and that can't be good:-( but on the flip side others have found new hobbies to keep busy, so glad you are positing and I have to say I quite enjoy times of solitude:-) hugs Jan xx
