Pandemic

I thought this was something worth fighting for,
I thought it was something to see me through,
Now I know, how stupid I’ve been,
and what is the truth.
I find myself lost in the dark-
looking for a better way.
Hoping this darkness turns to light;
and this eternal night into day.
I look for where I went and who I am trying to be-
realizing so much of what is what,
and learning to live-
in this new reality.
Stuck in isolation and a borderline mental break,
doing something from sun up to sundown-
wishing and hoping for-
a little break.
Fresh air doesn’t help, it drowns me,
living in this nightmare of a pandemic,
it is unreal, and it is truly-
getting to me.
Who can I trust and is my cough a symptom,
washing my hands until they bleed-
stuck in captivity like in my worst nightmare-
I’m starting to believe them.
Get me out of this madness.
