Call and Response

 
Feeling claustrophobic because you’ve been confined all this time?  
This pandemic has taken away all the hedonism  
Or do you agonize when you can’t get a word in edgewise?  
It feels like a sentence you’re unable to finish in prison  
 
Does this paranoia destroy a healthy relationship?  
Moods and attitudes get in the way of what used to be elegant  
Is it getting the best of you and your imagination?  
Maybe this is the true test of character development  
 
Whether it’s madness or sadness as death surrounds the planet  
Going a little stir crazy is part of the cabin fever  
But if you hear something weird awakening the worst of your fears  
The voice in your head may just be the ultimate deceiver

Wrap the chain and lock it tight  
roll the boulder, close the hole  
for it's constriction, just seems right  
to be a hermit, or a mole
 
Pinned in lockdown, and confined  
in my constraint, I feel so free  
incarceration for me, is so sublime  
it's solitude a liberty  
 
Ever the introverted optimist  
 cell walls closing, are such bliss  
the gaudy gaggle so not missed  
like Harry a convinced recidivist
