Lifeless Life -Keerthi Peruka

What has happened to our world?

All the countries in this world are going through the same situation

One infectious disease has completely changed everyone’s life

Covid has played an important role in my life

I am unable to live my valuable life due to the quarantine

Being an extrovert, I cannot bear the struggle of being alone

Being locked in the same house everyday,

I am lost in a world of loneliness

Everytime I look around with my tired eyes,

I only tend to see the lifeless objects in my house

I do not have the opportunity to share my grievances with my dear friends

My heart persuades me to meet my friends,

But my brain fears of getting the virus

My strong eyes shed tears everyday looking at the rise in the cases

My heart ponders everytime I hear that someone died

My mental health is becoming like a storm that is uncontrollable

My mind is always restless hearing about the lack of food, sanitary equipment and other necessities

Everyday begins and ends with the same routine

My life became worth nothing upon receiving a letter from my manager

I cannot live my life without my valuable job

What have I ever done for the virus to conquer my life?

I appreciate the front line workers from the bottom of my heart,

They are the people who risked their lives to save others

My eyes are eager to see the outside world again

May I get my wonderful life back very soon
