i sit alone in a lockdown no way to leave my house my family are here each drawn apart by crippling mental health try as we might to make it alright it will never be easy i sit alone in a lockdown with every other man in his own isolation no reason to leave his house our friends are missing all drawn away by their own anxious states their own crippling fears. i sit alone in a lockdown with myself for company if i look online i can see the whole world has paused, apart from each other alone, isolated. but in reality we’re closer than ever more afraid, yet more intelligent we have each other through zoom and facebook all like waiting for the night we can find our favourite souls once again.
