A Poem

I knew it was coming The message about someone I knew or someone who someone close to me knew and loved and wanted to be safe

I knew it was coming even though I stood in defiance thinking I could insulate myself and keep everyone I know safe

The world got smaller with one simple melancholy message Someone close to me lost someone and nothing could be done

Morbid hearts beat through this time wondering who it will come for next We can’t keep thinking it won’t be us There is no distance left

It’s too close to home and I feel inept and useless in the face of expected adversity that I was trying to hide from

But as long as there is air to breathe We run a risk of breathing it even though we know it gives us life It can also take it away

We can’t be complacent or expect that normalcy is over the hill Life as we know it has changed and we need to change with it

I’m scared this won’t be the last one and I’m scared for you too I’m scared for all of us who are just waiting for it to pass

I knew it was coming even though I didn’t know when and now that it’s come It’s too close to home
