Hope through Isolation...
Updated: Sep 18, 2020
Hey bumblebees! This is a small poem I wrote through Isolation. I hope it inspires you and gives you an insight into the story throughout these weird times.
Isolated
We are stuck at home no place to go, no place to see
We miss our friends and our family
We feel lonely and isolated but are trying to stay safe
All we have is our family and our bored face
We are struggling to source systems to suspend our boredom
As our minds keep running, thoughts very random
Although everyone is helping us out
So we don’t fallout
We exercise, communicate, optimize the situation
And can only dream of our dream destination
Together we cope, together we hope
We are like prisoners in our own home
Behind bars pleading for interaction
The sun shines through our windows begging us to come play
But we won’t budge, we ignore it, we just sit and decay
Slowly restrictions lift and our hearts lift with it
And everyone wishes to leave their cage-
People with masks, gloves and great distance
Don’t want to see us, don’t want to touch us
Together we cope, together we hope
Then the day comes no one is hit by this deadly bug
Our minds race; excited about what happens next
We start to realise the soft scent of green grass and the sunny space
BOOM! It hits us it has been here all along waiting for us to play
Our lives start to return to reality, and we come back better than before
We realise the comfort of a loud bustling road or a chattering classroom
Gratefulness blankets us as we feel full of happiness
What a rollercoaster we think, may it never happen again!
Together we cope, together we hope
