Life in lockdown is so different
Sometimes its weird and sometimes difficult
The roller coaster ride goes on and on
You can’t jump out of it even if you want
Sometimes you go up and sometimes down
It feels like postpartum depression sometimes
Whether you like it or not you have to deal with it
Life sometimes comes with no choice
Mask is hiding the real me when I go out
Mask is also a rescue to hide your expressions
when you want to hide it
Because of lockdown
Now I know more about myself
I am getting time to introspect myself
I know how I feel and why I feel in a certain way
I respect myself even more than before
I am becoming forgiving to myself
I have been hard with me
I pushed till I couldn’t push and than I realized why I am doing it
What I want to prove
to myself or to the world
So many people died different death
Relationship changed overnight
A very tiny virus moved the life upside down
And we have been trying to be the powerful all this while
It was very much needed hard hitting kick for all of us
To see where we are and why we are in this situation
People who are mindful are going very well in this phase
The false pride has no place
The big goons died petty death
Some are lost as they could not hold themselves
Life is a roller coaster ride
We like it or not but we have to take that ride.
Somewhere I feel it was needed for the environment
and for the air we are breathing
Animals are moving freely on street
we the human are caged in homes
We call it lockdown
Actually we are locked within and exploring without traveling to the
World
The peace we were looking for in different places
We never knew it was all inside
I will keep going on as it’s lockdown
Pouring the thoughts which were locked inside for long.
After a very long time I am writing today for

Keep going and pouring your feelings. It is good to read you after a long gap... 4 years!
Here's my take on the topic - Love In The Time Of Virus: The Lockdown And Thereafter
Someone is Special
"The peace we were looking for in different places
We never knew it was all inside"
Prathibha, I loved these lines in particular. I can relate to so many things in this poem. All of us are on the same roller coaster ride. It is scary, but fun at times. But unlike that ride, we don't know the end. Till then, we can just keep pouring our thoughts in order to keep sane. Keep doing that.
And here is what I poured out: Unfinished work left in our bags
You have covered both the 'within' and 'without' aspects of the Lockdown very effectively. For me too, the two worlds that we live in (people walking miles to their native places, and I sitting in my cozy home!) were highlighted during the pandemic. It is a heart melting experience and your words resonate that experience extremely well.
Dear Pratibha,
I echo your thoughts about how drastically our lives changed in the past 120 days!
You have written with such honesty, footing the irony of various aspects of lockdown..
Really liked how you have drawn the contrast between going out and going within!
Beautiful poem!
I wish you all the best best for BAT 59!
Regards' Megha
Very nice...you touched several aspects of our life....mask hiding emotions...exploring innerself...animals are free and we are caged...
I liked reading it :)
The peace we were looking for at different places , was always inside.. Such a beautiful thought, and so well expressed!
Good luck !
Postpartum depression :O I envy writers who wield brevity skilfully as I simply cannot use it.
Very beautiful! This is easily one of the best posts I have read. My favorite part is "The big goons died petty death". I don't know how you meant it - but what I interpret of it is that the virus has brought everyone to their knees.
I enjoyed reading the post. Thank you.
This is so relatable. I had a terrible time while I was in Bangalore for two months all alone under lockdown. Your poem came to me as a flashback. Well written <3
This is so relatable and true. You have the craft of writing good poems, "The peace we were looking for in different places, We never knew it was all inside" has such a classic vibe to it.
Thanks,
