The unforeseen trauma
Haunts me in isolation
Threatens my Kith and kin
To be aware of the virus
Beware of the virus
Don’t know how to
Cope with this
Disastrous microbe
Ironically,
it’s an open prison
Can’t seek a warm hug
Can’t have a consoling touch
Really, being a Covid positive
Makes one feel like An Orphan
Experiencing an unknown stigma
Undergoing an unforeseen trauma
Humanity comes across
A strange calamity
The invisible virus
Decomposes the composed
The wailing of the mankind
Knows no bounds
Hope is a mirage
Survival is a miracle!
