Isolated

The experience of isolation

Hurting now more than ever

Causing angst and frustration

Just wanting to surrender

*

In these solitary times

I have aged ten years myself

Depression leaves all its signs

And made a home upon my shelf

*

Isolated indicated the anticipated

Barely friendly, the glares so deadly

The insulated articulated they’re frustrated

Rarely steady and sweaty already

*

Bipolar, PTSD and borderline personality

I haven’t been thinking rationally

Ask me how I have the tenacity

And I’ll show you I love too passionately

*

It’s anxious times now crippled with fear

I forgot how to hold conversations

But I’d like to make one thing clear

I think I’ll keep my reservations

*

Times are tough in this lonely lock down

I’d cry but there’s nothing left here

Is this where I begin to drown?

God’s cruel being so cavalier

*

I haven’t been acting very mature

I’m still human and need to be social

So, this I would like to assure

That I am still really hopeful

*

Sometimes it seems I have no strength

My promise is to give this time

I will work diligently and at length

And everything will be fine
