Being locked up at home makes me feel
Lonely, bored yet content.
I use my imagination
Till the day's end,
And then, as normal,
I wander off to bed.
Being locked up at home makes me feel
Angry, annoyed yet not sad.
I do virtual schooling and then I am glad
That I have got my work out of the way,
Then get my exercise in
A walk-in-the-park sort of way.
Being locked up at home makes me feel
Stressed, unhappy yet calm.
I do my homework
Ahead of time,
Then sit on the sofa, reading,
Till eight or sometimes even nine.
Being locked up at home makes me feel
Grumpy, stuffy yet sluggish.
I sleep in late
Till I can rest no more,
Then after lunch,
Go to the garden -
Which I enjoy so much more!
When I'm finally out,
Breathing freedom in once more,
Although I will be joyful and excited
I will also have memories of
The goodness of lockdown.
So when I go outside as before,
Even though it will be a day to remember,
I still will miss
Going for daily walks in the park,
And clapping with the heart of the country in my hands.
