Bogged down by the word lockdown;

Deep down I felt I'll have a nervous breakdown;

Praying, Oh, God! during COVID 19,

Give me the strength of a teen;

Gradually I have calmed down,

Accepted it and settled down.

I'm immersed in my hobbies that' s "Art",

Where lies my heart;

Probably my counterpart,

With which I refuse to part.

From pencil to brush to thread;

I grabbed everything and went ahead.

Trying to move my fingers deftly,

I utilised every moment powerfully;

Time which I felt was dawdling;

Has just begun rolling.

Hobbies do inculcate,

Only to rejuvenate;

Fag end of the day,

All I have to say;

Utilise time where your pleasure lies,

Not for any Nobel prize,

But just to feel energised.
