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 sheā€™d 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,
theyā€™ve now devolved into words on a screenĀ 

ā€œYou are not stuck at home, youā€™re 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 ā€œwarmth 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 sheā€™s now heavily ambushed by another.Ā 

And itā€™s without choice that she must succumb to the epidemic sheā€™d been trying so hard to flee from all along

But I guess itā€™s better the devil you know than the devil you donā€™t
