Fear of Covid

I cough, I sneeze Wait???? Do I have a fever? Body chills? Is this for real? I can't believe it The doctor walks in, My heart is racing Tylenol, motrin, and a hospital bed Is all I'm chasing Someone rush me there! Symptoms all over again!!!! Covid? A second time I can't do this again!!!! Scared, scared, and even more scared Quarantine? What does this mean? My life, Is it over? Am I done? Can't be, I'm not the one! All alone, For hours and days Can't stand & cook Doordash is all I pay Pray, pray and pray some more I am too strong, I can handle this, I'm just over thinking My head snaps, When every mask comes off Every sniffle, Every runny nose My anxiety takes over My heart races My legs feel weak I hear my name! Louder & louder!! My eyes open, WIDE!!! MY THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD, ANXIETY DOES NOT HELP I WANT TO PUT COVID TO BED!!!!
