Quarantine Poem #5

I’m reading the news
and get stuck with the photos
of someone getting engaged.
Their happiness I cannot understand
the girl has been replaced
I remember
she was more blonde before.

I’m reading the news and don’t understand
why life has been on repeat for a year
and my friends are still waiting for me
and I am still waiting for myself
It’s an endless queue

I’m reading the news,
seeing a different reality than you
wanting to share it with you,
knowing we will just fight about
my believe and your believe
and break each others hearts
for the sake of being right.

I’m reading the news,
seeing people in beautiful dresses,
with glittery makeup and fairy-like hair.
I’m adjusting my pajamas
and gaze out of the window
Waiting for another day to pass by.
