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.
