Surviving Covid-19
It was only when facing my mortality
That I realized I'm not immortal
I stood at death's doorway
Facing the Grim Reaper
When my sense of taste and smell
Slowly faded to nothing
It heightened my sense of hearing
And I heard for whom the bell tolls
Terror gripped my heart
When told I tested positive
But I remained ever vigilant
And audacious in the pursuit of recovery
Locked away in my own little world
It has been a struggle alone with my thoughts
Sometimes I wonder deep down
If I'll ever taste food again
For COVID-19 robbed me
Of that which made me happiest
And as difficult as it is to cope with
I can rest knowing one thing
Though I may be a mere mortal
I found the strength and I'm still alive
