Imprisoned

Rachael Kelson

We’re trapped.
Imprisoned within our own homes.
Stuck inside. 
Time seemingly frozen.
Confined.

Helplessly watching the world fall apart 
   before our eyes
Powerless to stop its demise 
Everyone’s vulnerable 
Our only defense is remaining defenseless 
Unprotected.

Boredom takes over 
Inspiration shifts to disinterest
The fatigue is overwhelming 
Unmotivated to do even the most basic 
   of tasks
Spiritless. 

Time seemingly frozen
Life has been suspended 
Limited to only functioning on a minuscule 
   scale 
Laws keeping us in check 
Restricted.
