Fever

Is it possible to die of a broken heart While you stand right in front of me My fever rises You disappear My world torn apart in less than a week No one cares that I have fallen Should I even try to pick myself up Maybe Just to spite you And kick you in the balls with my recovery For now though I think I'll just lie here Exhaustion to well known a companion of late See the people pass me one by one Not being rude or discourteous They have no idea I am here Blindness is fashionable these days Though I know I am invisible It hurts to be ignored Which makes no sense really But then nothing does In this rabbit hole I have found myself in As it is want to happen my mind begins to wander Has everyone fallen down the same rabbit hole? Are there multiple holes? Personal holes? My arms straining shaking under my own weight One last thought slips through Will humanity ever find it's way back to being Human? 07/12/2020 STRAND COMPLETELY NEW(9) any form any theme Poetry Contest Sponsor Brian Strand

Trump, Putin and Xi are working together to reduce the over-crowding to ensure people cherish what remains! Aloha! Rico

So did I except for the smile ;) My sarcasm can be rather dry I guess.

You didn't understand his comment Heather, he meant that sarcastically.

I'm so sorry you are going through this Heather, so many people are sick especially now with this corona virus. It usually has serious consequences for the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. I sense that you are fairly young so you should be fine. I don't know if you believe in God, but I find prayer helps me when I'm overwhelmed. I will pray for your recovery. Blessings JD

I so wish it was just a write. I'm waiting on my test results 4 days now. Hospital conditions are deplorable and your treated like a leper if you have a fever. I'm trying very hard to stay positive. Writing is a wonderful way to vent. Thank you for your nice words.
