This Covid is killing me

It's not inside me

But I'm having fears

Driven me to tears that it's coming through me

This Covid is killing me

It's killing my life

Wasting my time

Six feet apart

Pulling me apart

How long I am going to deal with this distance?

This Covid is killing me

This government is killing me

Economy is down

Business is down

Everything is going down

Our president is killing me

I mean us

Checks in the mail

What if they fail?

Fail us and now we can't eat

This covid is killing me

What's gonna happen to us?

Do they understand or listen?

Does he understand the amounts of people are dying?

We are trying

Trying hard to keep our space

Man I wish I was in outer space

This covid is killing me

Nurses and Doctors are striving to survive

Working Days and Nights

Covid Patients breathing through tubes from the ICU

Immune system needs to choose whether to live or die

This covid is killing me

Closed doors, Stale walls staring at me

Laying in my bed with boredom

This boredom is killing me

Eyes can't take from the media

Things are taking a medium

This covid life is killing me

This covid society is killing me

No families

No friends

I forget what day it is

What am I supposed to do?

Beg and Plead

I have waited long for this to end

So sick and tired of playing pretend

Pretend that everything is alright and the world is not bright

This covid is killing me

I have been on my knees praying

Praying this thing would go away

This covid killing me

Please God why!

Someone please tell me why!

This covid is killing me

Why is this happening?

Too many days

Too many weeks

Too many hours

I can't stand this heap

Our President has become cheap

2020 is a heat

This covid is killing me

Wish we could all just listen.

They don't want a safe distance.

Why can't people be serious?

This covid is killing me

All the yelling and screaming

Crying wanting their jobs to reopen.

This covid is killing me

Pandemics on the high rise

They are risking their lives

Days and Nights

This covid is killing me

They don't want to take their health seriously

Must I say this before I end this surely

Seriously this covid is killing me
