Emerging from Shielding

Analysing risk
An everyday affair
Crossing the street
Driving a car
Taking a plane
Cutting your hair
But somehow pandemic
Raises the bar
Less than 1% risk
Feels much too far
Trying to get balance
My mind is on edge
Overthinking situations
Trauma enacted
Options
Mitigations
Other people's actions
Things I never thought about
Now make me panic
So I'll take it slow
Little by little
Trusting my judgement
Hoping others aren't fickle
.
.
A poem which emerged from this drawing I created yesterday. I'm not entirely sure how one relates to the other but that's what my mind did.
