Social Distance trade off: Safety for Oppression

Fri, 05/29/2020 - 00:12 -- YIYOTV

I am silent and shy, but am considered antisocial, a lie. 

A life where I loved hugs and being near people, I cry. 

Advised by the CDC to keep my distance, but all I wanna do is see my friends, I die

A life now filled with the regrets of yesterday from not going to school and saying goodbye

My social distancing keeps me alive... but I am not alive rather crucified.

I need my normality back even if I risk my life... defy, cry, feel alone...

One hug, One kiss, one touch from my Mother, Father, Cousin, Uncle, Friend... please

Human nature isn't built for social distancing, COVID won't kill me... this concept will.  

 

This poem is about: 
Me
