The Devil You Know
Covid-19 Pandemic
WildĀ
Eccentric
Impulsive
A girl who throws caution to the wind in the city she calls her playground.
Seeming busy to most but busy to none;
This is all her own design
You seeĀ
To be busy is to be distracted
A distraction based purely on fear from what sheād have to acknowledge if she slowed down.Ā
Something the world has now seemingly forced her to do
Her playground has been closed,Ā
Locked down so to speak.Ā
And her friends;
as crazy and stupid and silly as she,
theyāve now devolved into words on a screenĀ
āYou are not stuck at home, youāre safe thereā Ā they tell her
But her anxieties;
They rest in her mind like a bomb frozen in time, now thawing away in the āwarmth and comfortā that her lonely home brings
She wants to self love but all she does is self loathe.Ā
Safe from one illness?Ā
Perhaps
But sheās now heavily ambushed by another.Ā
And itās without choice that she must succumb to the epidemic sheād been trying so hard to flee from all along
But I guess itās better the devil you know than the devil you donāt
