A brand new innings…
As I peek at the long, road ahead
Fears begin to emerge and engulf.
Minding all the positives I read
I try very hard to convince myself
This is no prison I’m living in
Its a bright and bustling town
I’m at home and have my keys but
Heart is broken and locked down
Time stays still, on my window sill
But ticks at a pace, on my wrinkling face
Teasing my brain through a memory lane
Masquerading me, in a mindless maze
Fear of a microbe, frames me in a cage
Settling for memories, to avoid a flu
Forgoing friends and frozen in a mirage
Blinking at the sky, so barren and blue
I freeze not, in a tray of memories
Refrigerated into a state of musings
I stumble to shake off, try to thaw
Bring up and bat on, a brand new innings
