Try To Imagine

You die alone, barred from family; try to imagine how it must feel. You're attached to a respirator; air is being forced into your lungs. Try to imagine how it must feel; to never see your loved ones again. Air is being forced into your lungs; you're unable to breathe on your own. To never see your loved ones again; anxiety is worse than dying. You're unable to breathe on your own; isolated from those who love you. Anxiety is worse than dying; surrounded by strangers wearing masks. Isolated from those who love you; never to see their faces again. Surrounded by strangers wearing masks; you're attached to a respirator. Never to see their faces again; you die alone, barred from family.

I normally don't care for the Pantoum, but you made it work with this theme Emile, a testament to your poetic prowess!
