The days seem shorter now,
Darkness growing as the light fades away,
I barely notice,
Keeping the curtains shut,
Isolating myself in darkness,
Letting the outside be forgotten,
My bed has become my friend,
As more and more people leave my side,
Their reasons unknown,
But I just feel alone,
Depression and anxiety go hand in hand,
A feeling of mortality has washed over,
Losing someone I thought to be immortal,
Lost in time,
When will that feeling end,
I open the curtains for a second,
Only to see I've missed the light,
It fades away,
The darkness enters,
I close the curtains again,
Headphones,
Darkness,
I'm done...
I haven't posted anything in ages, couldn't get into my account for some reason. A poem I wrote about my lockdown experience for a video piece I did for college.
