PERSONAL PERSONALITY
A personality trait, heh?
Many more than I need
None stand out
One is not greed
Which one to pick?
Very hard choice
Maybe impatience
Up the flagpole I’ll hoist
Pandemic stresses traits
Exaggerates them a lot
Heavy drinking?
Maybe try pot
Let’s try openness
Hard to do in lock-down
Prehaps extraversion
Today, both unsound
Add anxious, angry and competent
Depressed, impulsive, fantasy-prone
Not altruistic or modest
Neither strike the tone
Open to feelings, diverse behaviors
To new and different ideas
Depression wins out
Exaggerating fears
Here I sit
Assertive and warm
Excitement seeking
Depression continues its swarm
With this damn virus
No personality left
One remaining trait: boredom
Of the others bereft

Holy cow! You listed more traits than I thought I had! But you know what? Our writing habits keep boredom at bay!

You do a great job of concisely stating the choices we are facing…pandemic stress has probably changed many of us into other personality types than we were….?

This kind of ends on a down note…I don’t want you to be depressed and bored! But at least you’re warm!! Help is on the way….the vaccine will be here soon.
