Aghast!
Angst inside
Aware of the consequences
And yet
A longing to go out
Want to see the pink blossoms from near
To dive in the waters that went clear
A wishful desire
To be
Outside
The empty roads haunt me
Abandoned park tempts me
The child in me wants this to end
Silent schools doesn't feel good to see
This final year isn't like the one before
You can only zoom in enough
To see your online degree...
The summer was different
Sun did not get to burn our skin this time
Terrace isn't 'out of bounds' anymore
Probably that's the only escape
From this harsh but essential chore
Some made coffee and did merry
Others with elder relatives in constant worry.
This year is different
Month after month
'Non-essentials' tucked away
Surgeries delayed, sliding into seventh
Emergency cases in sight, we stay away
No work, no sign of sleep
Anxiety hits at nights and then
We wish everything was open!
