Lockdown Life
We have been in lockdown now for several weeks,
And finally, it seems Corona Virus is at its peak.
To begin with there were plenty of chores
But now I've had enough of sorting through the drawers.
I just can't seem to get the motivation,
And feel like I'm in hibernation.
I know I should not cry or moan
When sometimes I feel so alone.
But it's how I feel deep within,
So yes, I know I shouldn't, but I do find comfort from a gin.
I'm finding my emotions are running wild,
And I'm also trying to cope with my inner child.
Learn new skills they say
But there's so much sadness throughout the day,
My eyes get red and puffy with the tears
As i feel the loss of both young and old in years.
For the people who mourn
Or those who just seem so forlorn
Then there's the anger that catches me unaware
And makes me shout,scream and swear.
Sometimes I manage to laugh and it's not all gloom
Especially when friends pop up on zoom.
But virtual this and virtual that, are not the same,
And it really does seem such a shame
For there seems to be no guarantees
To the end of this horrid Covid 19 disease.
But as the symbol of the rainbow can demonstrate
There's always hope and we may soon celebrate.
Every day can sometimes feel like Monday blues
But loosing choice can clarify what to choose.
It is so hard not seeing any one
But at least I can go out for a walk or run,
Where I try my best to clear my head
So much better than staying in bed.
Although we must be two metres apart
The words of strangers can warm my heart,
For although it's often only small talk
It puts a spring in my step, as I continue my walk.
The rainbow will eventually appear
So lets pray, that just as now, we continue to be honest, kind and sincere.
