Loosening Chains

New Jersey, USA

Friends.
House.
Two words.
Two amazing words,
Brought me back to life.

Of course,
Masks.
And we are only staying outside.
You must stay 6ft away from each other.

No matter.
It still brought me back to life.
Like a totem of undying. (Minecraft reference)
A chance,
To have fun again.
Alive.

I realized what the pandemic did to me.
It brought shackles to me,
And chained me down.
They bound me.
And made me gloomy and blue.

Fun is the remedy.
The chance to go to a friend’s place,
May seem small,
But its effect is huge.

It’s rusting my chains.
Weakening them.
Loosening my chains.
