Stay home diary

Question

A. Gautam

I have been stuck inside for many days
Everything old begins to change its ways
Not long ago I had my own routine
Oh these long days unbearable and mean

5. I miss my friends and going to the mall
I miss eating out and I miss it all
My family is stuck inside with me
I'm sure they all want to just be free

I watch the sun rise then I watch it set
10. I know the days have changed, I know and yet
Just being inside feels like a tasteless meal
Oh, what to do... this boredom that I feel?

I hear them those who say this too shall pass
I just want to take the bus to my art class
