2020 was Plenty

 Everything in hindsight is 2020,

Well goddam, I didn't know that meant bad,

Looking back at 2020 it wasn't all bad?

I started ICU life and Recovery of that I'm so glad.


Sure there have been hard times its true,

I don't need to explain the big one to you,

For me infections in the dozens,

Those took a massive toll on me,

Sepsis and surgery wore out my soul,

Pain for a month the side effect of one,

With 2020 I am more than done.


The year started alright,

A conference with a friend,

Standing on a stage once again,

But as the year progressed, more reclusive I became,

Wondering if I'd end up in ICU one more,

At my mental health, the anxiety tore.


I watched from the sidelines as my friends worked so hard,

I sent them some words to those near and far,

Working on projects to aid there work,

Looking on at these people who never seem shook.

Even when society is hitting them with a right hook.


2020 has been a testament to the Healthcare Professionals Work,

Relentless is there efforts, monumental there task,

But as always they seem to have kicked ass,

They risk their lives every day in a hundred different ways.


In 2020 we have seen the greatness in humanity,

But also seen people who sent me to profanity,

People so selfish and incredibly dumb,

Refusing to wear Masks when its rule number one.


But end this poem on a positive note,

While I don't think 2020 will be winning any votes,

I've seen who my friends are and that gives me hope,

So thank you all every single one,

This Hell forsaken year is buried and gone.
