Covid House Arrest Story

And here I am sitting alone on a Saturday during the Covid-19 phase and with a strong urge to write something after a long long time.


I am bored of this house arrest

I feel like going out and meet people

Time taught me the importance of office

I want to dress up  for office daily

and then grab the metro seat hastily

Yes, I am being caged at home.

Sitting all alone, just wondering

how everything changes within seconds

I have to take permission to meet my friends

I have to convince people to stay with my parents

No-one understands the loneliness I am going through

No-one understands the pain I feel 

May be all this is increasing because of being alone at home

May be all this is increasing because I am always taken for granted

May be because of mood swings I cant express

Or may be because of this room the entire day

But yes, I am being caged at home.

I want to cry out

I want to speak out and shout

I feel unheard and unseen; depressed and weak

I sit alone slowly sinking

and view the world passing

I don't want to be alone in the dark,

Please hold me as I start disappearing in the light

Please hold me as I start to cry

Just hold me so tight

that for a moment, I could feel the light.
