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.
