Lost Inside the Pandemic

A poem

With each new day comes some new twist and turn where someone was burned inside the crashing waves of the pandemic

it’s an epidemic really and no plans in sight or any real insight to make things right even when their mind became mush in the quiet hush of not having to be in a rush

so then I suppose the sound of your own voice became too much for you to bear it spoke louder and louder until everything else just faded away leaving you impaired

and here is where you will stay unless you stop looking the other way and face the Grizzly bear today.
