^{So today, our 'isolation' is imposed on us by necessity and governments, all from the outside. Many of us (myself included) have lived in a 'self-imposed' isolation for a very long time; you'd think this one wouldn't be so hard on us, that we'd be more accustomed to it.

Well, think again. 😥}

We shut ourselves up, in tiny rooms in our minds,
The windows closed, the curtains pulled.
In this self-imposed prison, we could open the blinds,
With sunlight; our fears to be lulled.

We should open the shutters, throwing fears to the wind;
Have we not our nightlights outgrown?
As the world grows more angry, is our love growing thinned?
Why do we walk and watch our phones?

Filled with potential, fated with enormity;
The universe is our oyster.
Differences are our assets, not deformity.
We can’t excel in a cloister

Love is always the answer; joining all mankind;
Shining through the window. Open the blinds.
