Anywhere But Here

In my own country 
We had a circuit breaker
The government did not want to call it a lockdown
But it was for 6 months at home 
Enough to drive me mad 
Like a bird flying against a window 
Bashing her head until it bled 
Tragically not let out yet 

2 years of covid 
And the gates are opening up finally again 
No matter how great my country is 
Or how she is improving 
It doesn’t stop my heart from yearning the other countries 

Perhaps it is called regional depression 
Covid and the lockdown have brought me to some very dark places I never knew I could be 
And made me feel so bad that I never knew I had these feelings in me 

The scenery is ever beautiful 
But the thought to fly away never leaves me
