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.
