All I want is to be left alone
yet forced to share space with them.
I can not leave.
I can not disappear.
I can not eschew responsibilities.
Yet escape sometimes is possible
if I break my own rules
and let them have electronics
even when their time is up
only so I can get some peace.
This disruption
is causing great anxiety
and its only been a few days.
It is a good thing I believe in myself
and also have electronics to divert me.
