Social Distancing

Whether it's positive or negative

everyone seems to have an opinion 

on what's going on right now

we've all heard the noise

but while it's in me to be positive

I can't deny being a little discouraged

by all the negativity I'm hearing

so if I tell you that I'm sick

keep that same negative energy 

you had before you found out

because I don't want to be your reason 

for caring about everyone else

and everything that's going on 

don't delete those negative comments

you've made on social media

just because I can hardly breathe

and wake up with a fever every day

you said it wasn't that serious

because we've been through worse

so don't answer my messages now

when you've been ignoring them forever

I know I sound like someone's bitter ex

but I'm just scared more than anything

depression hides it well though

some people have died from this

and even though I've died before

that was before I wanted to live

when I welcomed the negativity

but I'm not that person anymore 

so if I tell you that I'm sick

I'll be keeping the same energy also

by staying far away from you
