Unrecognizable home

The night smothered the day    
And enveloped us with its madness    
Driven by insecurities    
And the unknown    
   
Life has become unrecognizable    
And this home, a stranger    
Change is harsh    
But also inevitable    
   
Where do we go from here?    
Live our lives in tears    
Or try to see    
Our reality a little more clear    
   
It's lonesome in a way    
To be driven from your home    
Like some forgotten spellbound song  
From a friend long ago  
   
The die has been cast  
Will we run to palling comfort    
Or face our difficulties  
With an empathetic effort
