This quarantine is going to make murderers out us:
Making us stay with annoying siblings 24/7,
Clean every part of the house three times a day,
Complete our parents' projects because they're too lazy,
And complete schoolwork in a workspace that isn't comfortable.

Maybe it's just me.

Just me who has panic attacks every day because I can't escape,
Who can't do what calms me down because it isn't "adult-like,"
Who is criticized by family for reading comics, "reading anime" as they call it,
Who is yelled at for not getting out of my room when all I do in there is sleep at night like everyone else,
Who is put down by everyone in my life except for the pleasant few,
But of course, I can only see them at school and guess what's closed until the next year.

I can't stay like this.
Insanity growing,
Tears flowing,
Heart slowing,
Not knowing,
Who's going,
To die by my hand first.
