The Endless Night: a Healthcare Workers Experience With Covid

In the middle of this Endless Night I wake up to wonder, "am I still Alive?" Even though I got better, Im so Dead inside Overnight they count 5 more Of my Dear friends that Died As I struggle to find peace Turning in place, never finding sleep I make sure that you're still breathing And I can't help but weep I'm not sure how much more I can take My heart is so broken, tears roll down my face Some say the universe is "balancing out" I feel no balance in this saddness, I want to grab them and shout, "Life is not fair, Bring back my Friends!" They still had so much more to offer this world This is not how they deserved it to End They all perish at once at the end of a Season All because the Selfish would not listen to Reason They once had a chance to get better, to go Home, to say Goodbye They worked so tirelessly, Only to Die? Struggling to breath, unable to speak to those they Love The only One who knows why Is God above
