Can We Escape?

Positive Energy, Stay Safe, Be Strong

For how long can I pretend like this?

One day, Two weeks, Four months,

Now more than one full year has gone by.

My mind is bursting with worry,

The brain has stopped thinking,

My body is battling with fear,

How to get out of this situation,

I am unable to decipher!

Imprisoned within the four walls,

I had named it my sweet home,

Mornings are changing into nights,

Nights are turning into mornings.

I am frantic to escape from here,

My home is looking like a prison.

My hands are densely numb,

Legs are shackled with dread.

My nose and mouth are covered,

Not with one but the double mask.

New mutant in the city, covering the air like a winter fog,

Oh, God! It's more critical at present,

Does anyone know how many will rise?

My area again looks deserted,

To relax in my balcony is denied,

The virus is floating everywhere

Just like love drifts away, and we stare.

I am getting restless day by day,

Running out is not a great choice.

Vaccination is an immune booster,

Sanitizers are the last weapons,

Did I skip to mention masks?

Can I emerge from this unscathed?

I have lost all my life's strong beliefs

My positivity has vanished in thin air,

I am lying under the bridge of gloom.

Threats are increasing,

The virus is prevailing

Everywhere you see,

It's helplessness and no glee.

No intention of slowing down,

As if Evil has cast the magic spell.

Can we escape anyhow?

I am not sure.

Following rules, wearing the mask is the least we could do,

To lessen the burden on the doctors too.

Prayers and hope are our only weapons now,

To make the virus bow!
