I opened my phone to see the outside world.
This is my window, the
small gap in the wall to peek the goings-on,
from this home where we’re
like alone.
Alone in four walls, a
ceiling and a floor;
my workstation, playground
and home.
We’re locked up, and the
boredom is on.
Suddenly, the world has
changed and we’re not used to it.
Me, you, them, we’re
around everywhere, sad and weep.
And so on my news-feed I
see the timely story.
Many people today are
going through anxiety;
because of fear,
difficulty and uncertainty;
because of boredom and
feeling of solitary;
because of this pandemic
that plagued everybody.
Thump-thump, thump-thump,
thump-thump.
The heart beats so fast
and you can’t unplug.
You feel afraid of
tomorrow, of the things around you.
What if you run out of
money or food?
What about your family and
friends too?
All these things are
coming, circling, popping
again, and again, and
again, and again.
Thump-thump, thump-thump,
thump-thump.
The heart beats so fast
and you can’t unplug
You feel it going high and fast,
will it blast, will you go
crazy at last?
And simply don’t know how
to control your heart.
You want to be alone or
you want to cry,
or maybe you want escape
to try.
There is only one thing I
should say not to go by.
That is never give-up
everything and say good bye.
Because you are not alone,
and never be alone.
Because we are here to
hold on our compassion.
Cry, roar and shout; there
is nothing wrong doing that.
If you feel you don’t feel
okay, then it is okay to not be okay.
This is just for today;
and tomorrow is a morning sunny day.
The world is healing, and
so your feeling.
Certainly this will pass,
soon this has ending and you’ll be rewarding.
Prayer is more than
enough.
When it is done, when our
usual life has back,
we who survived in this
catastrophe,
we’ll be the living
testament of being tough.
Then was anxiety and now
you can laugh.
