isolation

isolation.

it goes against everything we know.

kisses, hugs,

handshakes, high-fives,

just standing close to someone

to feel like you are not alone.

isolation goes against everything we know.

we are confined to the repetitive walls

of our homes.

we have no where to go,

no where to be.

isolation goes against everything we know.

we try to make up for it

with screens and cameras and technology

but we long for something we can feel

that we cannot get through a screen.

isolation goes against everything we know.

purpose is lost.

why get out of bed in the morning?

why comb your hair and brush your teeth?

it's not like anyone would know the difference.

isolation goes against everything we know.

isolation.
