Should I be joyful or fearful?
The world is trapped in turmoil
My mind trapped and still
The headache demands its daily fill
The madness had already begun
Before the day of The Big 2-1
My worldview is crumbling
Common sense is crumbling
Peoples hearts are drowning
Their emotions are crowning
I want to pack my stuff and run
Before the day of The Big 2-1
They're happy for me
I'm legally forever free
Moneywise, I cannot leave
In my heart, I choose to be
My darkened mindset has finally been won
On this, the day of The Big 2-1

Obviously, the current situation in the world is putting people in a lot of strain mentally— myself included. If that weren't enough, people are downplaying it and treating certain things like they're the devil. It's...tiring. It really is, and I feel it's getting harder and harder to keep going with this happening— even as an introvert!
This definitely isn't under the normal formula I use for this series, but I didn't have the energy to go full-throttle with a mindscape experience or intimate Xavier moment. I was never really into poetry, and this is my first time taking a whack. How is it?
Note: My birthday was on the 5th.
