Everything around is stifling,
Bright walls, soft beds,
Smooth blanket threads,
I'm ready to step outside,
Into the toxic, city air,
With people everywhere.
My home is more sick
Than maskless mobs
Coughing up globs.
I have an excuse to go!
There's an unused mask
To use for a task.
It would be wasteful
For the pretty pattern
To never leave my cavern.
I'm not asking much, promise!
I just need to know
That the sun can glow.
I want to see my friends,
Ah, I remember the ways
Of carefree days,
Do they still remember me?
