Lockdown

I'm wondering if others feel like me -

wondering if we'll ever be free.

Mostly, I try to be brave, 

but I admit, I don't want to go to an early grave.

I want my loved ones to live and have a full life,

I don't want them to have to go through this strife.

I'm trying my hardest not to let this thing get to me, 

but I'll admit, 

sometimes it overwhelms me.

Some days, I feel like crying because it all seems surreal.

It's just so bloody unreal.

When it's time to go to the supermarket, I get anxious and scared.

I was just not prepared.

I go through my days now, trying to remain calm,

I'll have to put on some lemon balm.

I admit it, my mind is screaming,

and I wish I was dreaming.

Instead, we're living in a nightmare,

which cannot be fair.
