living in quarantine
a rather simple theme with a million open responses — write anything that involves your activities, thoughts, feelings, etc. during quarantine. it can be as short or as long as you wish. have fun! make sure to tag me in the comments! (i accidentally made a mistake with my original posting of this challenge so here's an edited version.)
It’d be nice
I think it’d be pretty nice
for the sky to hang above me once again,
to be able to see outside without glass in my eyes,
or to share a whisper with a friend.
My dreams are extraordinary -
odd characters I’ll never meet,
places I’ve never been
and plots made of jelly.
A week or two into quarantine,
I woke up to surreal reality after having had
the strangest of all dreams -
it was me, walking free with no mask in the streets.
It’d be pretty nice, I thought,
to be able to breathe again,
to chase the fleeting sky and get lost
and call out and be found by my friends.
It’d be nice to live in that dream but 'till then,
the world and I will be sitting at home,
waiting for all this to end.
