Perpetuity

In this bed i lay.
In this bed i stay.
Drowning as the time ticks by
And withering away.

Minutes turn to hours and
Hours turn to days.
My stomach grumbles loudly yet
In this bed i stay.

The plants need water,
Me as well.
Instead, we both decay.

In this bed i lay and
In this bed i stay.
Confined within my unkind mind,
Life is kept at bay.

Quite apt for the current situation, but can also be interpreted for a person suffering from clinical depression. As my mum says, "wherever you go, there you are!" You cannot out run your own self.
I like the comparison with the plants that need the water and are decaying from the neglect, just like the speaker.

It was meant to have representation in both the present situation and relating to the deteriorating state of most people's mental health at the moment! Your mum is absolutely correct. We all need to take extra care in this time and protect our energies. Especially from ourselves!

I appreciate your words and view (:

I really love those lines. Simple but haunting.
