Calm
"There may be similar adversities, events beyond our control, that could come to our life and we can have different reactions, such as disbelief, anger, fear or acceptance, calm with hope it will be all right."
~~~ Quote By Poet~~~
You have been around for two years
How much longer would you be here?
I remember we were frantic,
we were shocked, in total panic
when you invaded six households,
for you were raging, uncontrolled
that two died out of the twenty
you infected, left us empty.
That was January, last year;
you terrified me, bringing fear
with so much great intensity
paralyzing my sensory
on my visits to my mother,
who was dying in my brother’s
house, where seven you infected.
I was so scared, I was a wrecked.
Seven weeks ago, you came back
hitting my household, you attacked
my son and I; but I was calm.
You were vicious, I had no qualms
to get rid of you, fighting you.
Yes, I was face to face with you
for weeks through my afflicted son.
Kept calm till you left my loved one.
