Pandemic Woes

I did all that was expected.

I wore the mask,

washed my hands,

and kept my distance.

I sanitized

till my skin was dry!

But still,

you snuck up

on ME!

You climbed into my head

and left it throbbing.

You attacked my able body

and left it weak.

I fought you

day and night

and eventually won.

But still,

you haunt me.

You've robbed me of my peaceful sleep,

and turned my day to night,

and my night to day.

My once vibrant self

is now a shadow of the me

I used to be ...

My lethargic body

drags itself through daily chores.

My tastebuds are no more,

even though my appetite is restored.

You may be gone,

and my test is negative,

but your legacy ravages my body

and haunts my dreams!

Oh, what have you done?

I can not forget ...

Flu like no other,

Oh, PANDEMIC BE GONE!!!
