Nay to no hugging my friends

Nay to my canceled trips and summer

Nay to social media bugging down on us,

Nay to arguments about masks.

Nay to feelings of being alone

Nay to hidden smiles behind masks

Nay to forgetting how to communicate

 Nay to lost periods of our life.

Nay to worry of our health

Nay to the worry of our future

Nay for covid tests after covid tests,

Nay for those who test positive.

Nay for no hair cuts or manicures

Nay for postponed sports seasons in school or on TV

Nay for the world fighting instead of working together

Nay for everyone on earth.

Nay to separated classrooms

Nay to watered down classes and field trips,

However, Yay for the time to think and revise

And Yay for not going through this alone.
