I have accepted my isolation 
Even with the eggshell we fear crushing
That is not to say that if the occasion arose
Where I would be aloud to safely venture into the world
To cough in the presence of others 
Without being shunned or feared 
I would not take it
No I would take it happily 
I would be overjoyed to see the people I so long to see
But I also must admit 
That no more than a month after quarantine is lifted
I will more than likely be back in my home
In my room barely texting anyone
Sitting in the silence I once craved but now hate
Because I am an extroverted introvert at best
I only need my fill of social contact and energy 
Before it's too much and I feel overwhelmed 
Without it I tend to slip into a depressive state
As has become evident in these recent weeks
Yet there is nothing I can do
Except accept that I must stay home
I am lucky to divide my life between two homes
Tomorrow I will go to queens 2's home
And get my fill of change of scenery 
Before I return to queen 1's house
And continue with my sweet and sad nothings
