Grounded


I am grounded,

housebounded,

wounded

and afraid


It is silence I have paid

to be utterly still and wait

for nothing to happen


I am grounded,

housebounded,

wounded

and afraid


The air is filled with hate

waiting to be released

It seems no one is pleased

and all are against 

some imaginary beast


I am grounded,

housebounded,

wounded

and afraid


I'm lying low

and get up late

aiming for a peaceful

and forgotten day and date
