This might resonate with some people, I wrote it last year, it was a bit of a week, which started with celebrating my 55th Birthday on my own, well, I suppose I had my cats.
Meltdown
C A Malin
Usually controlled and calm
But not that day, all too much
Work, suspect device to check, Covid
Lockdown, meltdown
Student gatherings to move on
Lock outs, water leaks, heating off
All to be dealt with by Security
Lockdown, meltdown
Face masks, disposable gloves on
Selfish people, no regard for others
Fire alarm activations to check out
Lockdown, meltdown
Just two words, thats all it took
Well done, how stupid, two words
Felt like words given to a child
Lockdown, meltdown
Not anyones fault, mine completely
Anger, sadness, upset rolling over
Should be kept to myself, not spilling over
Lockdown, meltdown
Sorry said, apologies given, not enough
Never good enough, angry with myself
Should not involve others, especially you
Lockdown, meltdown
My world, my problems, my emotions
All should be hidden from view
Shut away, locked up, key thrown away
Lockdown, meltdown
Sorry, so sorry, my apologies to you.
