My Job Or My Life

My job or my life. It should be an easy choice, but it isn’t.
I really love my job.
And I am kind of fond of my life.

If I go back to work during this pandemic, 
I will be exposing my health to over a thousand people a week.
I have been too frightened to leave my house for six weeks.

My job or my life.
The choice should be easy
But it isn’t.
