I Feel Sad

The way things unfold,
the routine of these days
makes me wanna curl up
and not leave my bed.

All the things to-do
can’t wait,
they ought to be done today
or life won’t move forward?
Who filled our minds with that?

i don’t leave my room,
not even to eat.
can’t bear to see the people called ‘family’,
nor can i bear to see all the to-do tasks
of the routine.
so i forgo food, and bear hunger for a day,
and win some quiet time alone.

i wish this pandemic would be over soon,
at least some of these people would go away
to their own lives,
leaving me be.
