Never The Same

 

Never The Same

© by Bud Lemire on Jan 22, 2022

After having Covid, many are never the same

It's from having the virus, it is to blame

Anxiety is one symptom, that stays with you

It's something that, you'll have to get through

Everyday life changes, and you'll have to try

A new way of doing things, to try to get by

You might even have, an overwhelming fear

It'll be hard to focus, nothing will be clear

The symptoms may vary, with everyone you know

You carry them with you, wherever you go

You'll need to find a new way, to stay calm and tranquil

You have the power, and you have the will

Take it step by step, don't push too hard

Slow and easy, you've just been scarred

You're doing your best, to remain sane

Covid hit hard, and it's affected your brain

Sometimes you'll find it, hard to think

You'll find you're off balance, and out of sync

Others don't understand, what you're going through

Unless they had it, they don't have a clue

I'm a Covid survivor of the first wave of it. I'm

still feeling after effects of having it. They seem

to come and go, so I take it slow. If you saw me,

you might not notice I had anything wrong with me.

I deal with it every day. I keep getting out, with a

mask on, because only by continuing doing what

I've always done, can I continue to be who I've

always been. I take each day slower, I take it step

by step. I don't want your pity. I just wanted you

to know what people are going through. With

Omicron, there are even more symptoms.
