The After Effects Of Covid

 

The After Effects Of Covid

© Dec 28, 2020 by Bud Lemire

Nobody knows about Covid, until it hits you

You learn about the things, that you never knew

After it's over, and you're feeling better each day

The Covid After-Effects has changed you, in many a way

For many, a Panic Attack will happen, at any time

It's like you have lost, control of your mind

Enclosed places, and you are ready to explode

No matter how you try, you can't get in the relaxed mode

For those who survived the Ventilator, even more problems arise

There are Flashbacks to those days, and hearing death cries

Just like returning from a serious war, and you're taken back

They flash in your mind, it's a frightening attack

There are Nightmares that come, and nothing you can do

Just let them happen, and be glad when they're through

You sleep on the couch, can't sleep on the bed

Between Flashbacks and Nightmares, too much to dread

Hot flashes come and go, throughout the day

You keep wishing for normal, and that you'll be okay

To have these After-Effects, is a common thing

They are some of the consequences, Covid will bring

The normal things you could do before, sometimes become

the activities that set off Panic Attacks. All because Covid

went through your system and changed you in that way.

If you experienced the Ventilator, there are Flashbacks,

and Nightmares added to Panic Attacks. Imagine being

in an enclosed area, like a room, a car, in bed tangled up

in blankets, and all of a sudden you have a panic attack.

The fear is so overwhelming, there is no reasoning with it.

The calm you had before Covid, has now turned to fear.
