The pandemic thwarted my holiday plans,
Also to make my experiences enhanced.
I disappointed my wardrobe and my backpack,
The glistening dreams of staying in a shack.
The bonfire was splashed out with my sad tears,
Lost a nice chance to overcome my sulky fears.
I wanted to get through my introvert ways,
This time, it was circumstances that set it ablaze.
All this while my feet jolted out of shoes,
In pajamas did I through out snooze.
Like a grizzly bear before hibernating eats,
Of laziness, did I perform many new feats.
To trod the jungles and cuddle by the bonfire,
To fill my back with goodies and souvenirs,
And to gape at the wonders of engineers.
All my out-of-dreams programs did a backfire.
The smile of excitement turned into a frown,
Instead of the sky, the ceiling-fan became my crown.
The boring walls filled my sight,
My mood, just wanted to fight.
Though a lot many opportunities came on my way,
The flopped wish to travel, just didn't let me feel okay!
This is the story of every travel bug out there,
We all did miss standing on the lines for fare.
But everything happens for some good,
Be glad that this ordeal you withstood.
Smile and wait for the surprises of life,
There's nothing you can really achieve without strife.
