Diary Entries

Lockdown, isolation, loneliness, and Sorrow. For many, before the event of Covid19 was already an expected tomorrow. Preservation of life, ending of strife, all highlighted in red. Yet the muted of out brethren are still left for dead. As the statistics are read on the mean screen. Numbness and desensitisation, seeing people across the globe fleeing.

( To be read like Dr. Seuss) Diary Files I'm stuck inside from corona virus So I'm stuck listening to Miley Cyrus What's going on around us. By losing our hobbies, with nothing to do, we find out what's truly inside us. With family and friends further, than ever before. We found out that What once was a chore. Was something we should, have appreciated more and more. So Corona, perhaps you're not as bad as they say. So as thanks, you can be the hero of this story, but just for today.

I wake up, the TV going wild (News Headline) CORONA VIRUS BREAKOUT. I think to myself, huh? What is this, I hear keys jangling, and hear a voice, WAKE UP EVERYBODY! I look at the door, it opens up , the worker gets shocked, looks at the TV and says, CORONA VIRUS! She finishes handing me the wash bag and leaves my cell and closes it with her keys. She discusses it with other workers. I think to -myself oh no my family. Then the news reports a death, and the symptoms and how it spreads quick. Now I worry, oh no, so I worry, so I have a shower and think and think about my family, I feel gut sick. I finish my shower and then dress and clean my room. The worker doing the checks , checks on me. I say hurry up and get us out, you are useless ( being worried bout my family)eager to call them and see if their fine. The worker reply's "Be quiet and the intercom gos off and repets "10 minutes boys make sure you shower and your room is clean". I buzz up saying please get me out. I want to call my family. They reply : 10 minutes mate, be patient.

#Lock down# 7 years on So everyone wants to know how lock up in lockdown is, well first great, but not great, boring and heaps boring. Life ain’t fun being in isolation and in lock up. That’s all you do is lock down in your room thinking about life on the outside or the other side but don’t plan too big. Life on the outside ain’t fun everyone is lock down waiting for someone to help, we didn’t expect covid-19 to be like this killing all these people. Life is too short for all of this to happen, we only want to have a clean life for our self and our baby, but on the new everyday all I hear about is people stuck in their homes.

Coronavirus Poem This year the world has gone through a weirdo phase Unnecessary deaths, horrible moments for some people But mostly for people with an older age The way I look at this crisis It brings misery to my day. For instance you are gathering with your family All about good times but knowing there is an irritating rule that you have to be 1.5 metres away. I know this is disgusting what we are going through But I have faith in us humans That we know what we have to do. I am a young man who has made mistakes in my life But due to this Coronavirus OUTBREAK It not gonna stop me from keep moving forward and to keep doing what's right So I send my love to the ones who have suffered and are still suffering.

The Covid-19 has been a new and traumatising experience for me. My school stopped and I couldn't get visits from my family. I was worried about family and friends because they might get it. At school, I was stuck on my unit everyday. We had to wash our hands all the time.

What Isolation looks like to me through the covid-19 pandemic. I am sitting in my room thinking about this covid-19 and I see on the news everyday people are all in isolation. They are not allowed out to they get test results. People are not allowed to ride, walk, drive around with over 3 people. This is what isolatron looks like to me in lockdown, we have to use sanitisers every day. You have to keep your room clean. I'm sitting behind these concrete walls and I am imagining I was out and I was riding my dirt bike. It makes me feel free not locked down. This button in my room is blue, when I press the button it turns off my TV and my light. In my room ,I have a table and a seat. One day I was in a Unit wearing a green shirt, then I got moved to another Unit and they have dark blue shirts. On the outside, I don't wear a collar but in here we have to wear a shirt with a collar. Every boy in the centre have to wear Dunlop shoes. Being in here made me feel safe, cause I'm away from the covid-19.

Locked down in lock down I'm serving time but I will make time serve me Locked down in lock down 4 walls within 4 walls with the vast expansion of imagination Swimming in an endless pool of my own thoughts called isolation But this compared to how much bigger this is or how much bigger it is It's like dropping a ring in a desert and that ring is another desert and then dropping another ring in that desert and so on It's time to reflect and use my imagination the only power I have, through being locked up in lock up. All my other powers have been stripped off me due to circumstances because all my actions, thoughts, opinions and beliefs will become a product of what I want around me.

Corona Virus or CoVid-19 came so unexpectedly It's sad to see so many lives lost. These also including the ones underground R.I.P. But also the mum that can't go to work Can't feed her kids The man that is now homeless And struggling with a mental breakdown The family's with Infected loved ones Corona virus is like a pack of wolves Singles out the weak & vulnerable and attacks We need to remember to bubble ourselves and take time to really think Stop getting caught up with the rubbish around us The media, internet & all the gossip Yes Corona virus is bad and it's out of our hands But make something good out of a bad situation My idea and opinion is that Corona Virus has given us time to think and come back to peace within ourselves.

I am a 15 year old boy and I'm in lock up in lockdown. I have been trying to show my family how to use this zoom app but my family are too old to use the app. Because we not allowed vist's or cant even see my friends or brothers or sisters. You cant even get toilet paper no were you have to wait to they restock. I cant go to court because covid 19. I think I have a better chance of getting out when I am in front of the Judge. When I was in my room I was I put all of my items in my pillow case and work on my arms. When Im lockdown I have been thinking about my family and mates. I never been abel to read or write it only took me 2 month to read and write. They teachers showed me how to stretch out the word's and sound them out. 1 leart how to read and write in lock up and now I love to write.
