Unplugged
This is me unplugged
not from screens, I’m sad to say
just from my routine
weaknesses exposed
old excuses are debunked
guilt is growing now
I can’t find my heart
deeper levels remain locked
this is not like me
unnerved by the calm
now in my once stormy mind
maybe I’ve gone numb
either I’ve matured
or depression’s lurking close
getting set to pounce
this pandemic life
stripped away my camouflage
How do I hide now?

I'm happy that you pulled through and came up with something, despite your difficulties! Hang in there! Sorry you are feeling kind of negative... Try music, or reading others uplifting poetry. It works for me... not sure if it will for you, but it can't hurt. I liked the poem a lot... and rest assured, you will find your heart again :)
Best wishes,

Thank you, NB, you're very kind. Working on finding a new rhythm, but I don't always like what I see when I'm stripped down to the essentials. Anyway, we'll get through this....

Loss of freedom will do this to you
I think we are all going through it.
There's something to be said for our every day life pre-pandemic
It might have been fucked in other ways but it wasn't invisible

Yes, this is a mixed bag of blessings and curses. Some days it's hard to see both.

I suggest you climb a tree to re balance your psyche. This predicament thrown me for a loop as well. Take care. You can always reach out to me on IM or my Batphone. We can be insane together😋🌹
