The Virus

It is time to look within yourself
To see what is inside as your wealth
Remember what it took to get you here
All the lessons learnt and the heartaches felt so clear

You can hurt people with a remark
When people take the words to heart
So now we are exposed to everything
It can be so hard for your soul to sing

So in this task that is set us
We can make of it such a fuss
Or just get on with it and not complain
Just know we all are in it all the same.
