the streets filled with people
traffic crowding my view
who knew we'd miss that
who knew it'd be so soon

as soon as we all left
town on that day
we said goodbye to normality
and paved the way

for masks and gel
and all of the kind
i haven't left my house in 40 days
i yell up to the sky

for this is not a normal life
not for someone like you
normal, healthy, perfect
your life isn't this *******

someone like me understands it
i was getting into a routine
four months since i attempted harming myself
four months of being clean

but now i sit in silence
the streets a silent steeple
there are many things i wish
and that is to see other people

but unless i see them on a screen
i cannot do that
i hate myself and i hate this
but that is a fact

today is the start of a new week
i say as i put on clothes
for the first time four days
not too sure why i chose

chose to wear these clothes
i don't have a video call
they say it'll make me feel better
i don't feel better at all

i continue down this path
day in and day out
weekends turn into weeks
someone end this drought
