(In​)​Essential Workers

about

In this pandemic, I should hope we all can at least acknowledge what an amazing job anyone labeled an essential worker is doing for all of us. And if you are a creative of any type. I should hope that you had at least one moment of realizing “oh shit…I am SO far from an essential worker”. So at the very least you learn some humility. I have had this moment about one million times and questioned if I have any usable skills. If the world really fell to shit, I would die in the fetal position crying and making some snide comment as a joke. Or am I selling myself short? Are we all? Who knows.

lyrics

Essential workers
Help run society
Now that I look at myself
I don’t think that’s me.

Looking at my resume.
I'm feeling like Ive never had a job.
I mean I've survived. 
But it's unclear how.
I'm an artist.
I'm a musician.
I know a lot about comedy.
Not sure that translates into
making money.

Starting to get worried I don't have any actual usable skills.

Essential workers.
Help run society.
Now that I look at myself.
I don't think that's me

Maybe I could learn
how to build something
or use my hands.
Or I could just write about it.
In theory
Im starting to worry all my life choices were wrong.
Starting to think...

I'm fucked
