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
