I can’t tell anymore. Being outside                                                                           Being indoors    ***** laundry overtakes my drawers.two days dirt saturates my   pores.texts and calls being ignored.avoidance of all commitment.            I’m scaring myself.                                                               No one around to help, to witness.             What to say of                                     i s o l a t i o n                                                                   If it gives me a different sickness?

For clarification, I fully support evidence-based medicine and this poem is by no means 'anti-lockdowns". It was instead written during a moment of mental weakness as a means to cope my rising anxiety due to being indoors for months at a time with very little human contact!
