What is the point of me surviving
if you are going to treat me like I died.
I want to cherish each hard earned moment,
you turn off your phones and pretend to hide.
Exhibit
The animal walks around it’s home
in view of everyone.
Everyone comes to gawk and stare.
They feel safe by the glass,
and are joyous as it moves about.
But when the animal gets too close
to the edge of it’s exhibit
everyone takes a step back,
They think the animal is dangerous.
But it’s not going to hurt them.
I’m not going to hurt them.
I can’t hurt them anymore.
But yet I am still an exhibit
Better not get too close.
Died
I had the coronavirus.
I could have fucking died.
But I didn’t. I survived.
Just for everyone to
ignore me and
to treat me like I did.
Isolation
What they tell you when you have coronoavirus
is that you must isolate for 10 days.
What they don’t tell you when you have coronavirus
is that everyone else will leave you in isolation
long after you recover.
Had
What I think:
I had the virus.
I could have died.
What they think:
You had the virus.
You could still make me die.
