A Quarantine Song for Introverts
By Melody Beerbower
And now I'm all alone again, no where to go
No work to run to,
Stuck here at home, without a friend
Without a face to say hello to.
Everyone full of fear
Now that the quarantine is here.
Sometimes I scroll along online
See everybody freaking
I think of them and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes crazy
And I can live inside in peace
On my own, pretending it's not normal
All alone, my dress is never formal
Without work, my pets are all beside me
And I can stay in bed all day
With nobody to chide me.
In the store, the shelves they all are empty
But in my home, I've got toilet paper plenty
In the darkness, eating popcorn watching Netflix
If this is social distancing please sign me
Up forever
And I know, that I don't really mind
That I'm talking to myself, and not to my friends
And although, there's Skype, Zoom, and FaceTime
Still I stay, far away from that.
I know that, when quarantine is over
Won't change much, a loner's still a loner
Without it, my world-it hardly changes
Rather be stuck in here than anywhere
I have to deal with strangers.
Corona, one day it will be leaving
Everyone their social lives retrieving
Without it, our normal world returning
In a world that has no quarantine--
Still I'll be on my phone...
Because I love it
I love it
I love it
Just being on my own
I know that this quarantine is not fun for everyone (most people), and I mean no offense to anyone who has been hit pretty hard by it and the virus. Know you're in my prayers, and I hope this little song helped to pass the time a bring a little laughter to you. Stay strong!
