Quarantine, What does it mean?

Quarantine 

What does it mean?

It seems to be so unclean

Taking the crown of every disease and virus 

and becoming the queen 

To me it seems 

Even being free isn't free

It's like solitary confinement 

Self isolation by force with no one to talk to on the outside 

No one to run to when you have to be 6 feet apart

No one to hold and to cry on when you're at your worst 

COVID-19 taught me to put myself first 

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse 

COVID-19 hits my zip code so I must prepare for the worst 

Just like Harry Styles said it's the sign of our times 

We hope and we pray that Mr. COVID-19 

won't be the end of mankind 

Quarantine and COVID-19 

You've made your mark 

Now it's time for you to go 

and run for the stars
