Two years later, I have to ask:
Was this shitshow
Worth it?
The masks
The distancing
The fear
Was it worth it?
The fallout from the
Absolute terror that we
Might get sick
Was it worth it?
The shame that I might have
Been sick and maybe
Passed it on
Was it worth it?
The opting out of
holidays and birthdays
The missed opportunities
Was it worth it
The declining mental health
Which translates to
physical health
Was it worth it?
The “quarantine 15” workouts
And virtual schoolings
And zoom birthdays
Was is worth it?
The cancelled vacations
And vaccinations
Was it worth it?
After all this time I can heartily say
A big HELL NO
It wasn’t worth it.
