6 feet


2020 demanded 6 feet

6 feet before was always considered bad, unhealthy even

And now it’s for our healthy and safety

Almost funny how they both feel the same

6 feet apart and 6 feet under

From up here it seems I can scream and no one will hear

Just as from underground 

No one really seems to care either way

As though I could disappear and they wouldn’t know

The question of 2020 turned into which was better

6 feet apart or 6 feet under

I can’t really say it’s 6 feet apart

Cause the people I stay closer than 6 feet within range are the ones I wish I could push that far

And it seems the only way to get them that far is to force it

6 feet under or 6 feet apart?
