Lockdown
So, this lockdown is still in effect,
I'm not the only 1 feeling it I bet.
I know that it's for a good reason,
But for the old days I'm honestly grieving.
Heads up, I'm diagnosed mentally insane,
But this situation has got me losing my brain.
1 thing that normally helps is going out, But now I can't do that, the voices shout. When they're bored, they just pick on me,
And there's only 1 thing I can do or so it seems.
But that 1 thing is something I can't do, As I promised my Mum, so I must stay true.
But this situation is really testing my nerve,
It's a time I really wish I could swerve.
They voices they now build to a crescendo,
And now I really just want to end all.
I try to block them out, think my own thoughts,
Try to steer away from them, plot my own course.
Only thing stops me cutting and just writing in verse,
Is that ultimately I'm lucky, so many people suffer worse.
