Absurd Part of Renewal
Poetry prompt: Renewal
Reduced to nothing
but feeling trapped
by four walls.
Enclosing us
from the outside world.
Air coming
from the crack of
a window.
Renewing our sense
of reality
outside our homes.
Minds race
thinking of another day
stuck inside.
Day after day,
boredom and depression
is all I feel.
Officiating the coming of terms,
we never know when
once again
we'll feel freedom.
Streaming anger
reaches a boiling point.
Can't hold it in,
having to let it all out.
Calming breaths
no longer exist
in my world.
Fear narrates
the need to survive
the mess.
World is at a stop,
everyone standing
still in motion.
The point of renewing
our normal lives
far in the distance.
Author's Note: This poem is about feeling trapped in our homes as we are stuck here during lockdown. Each day that passes, is another day of longing to live our lives as we want to and not being told we can't leave our homes.
