Unknown

The fear of not knowing

It something that lives in all of us

No matter if you’re a boy or a girl

Man or woman

White or black

Gay or straight

We all have the fear of not knowing when this corona paramedic is going to end

When is world going to get back to normal as we knew it before.

The fear of not knowing is the most devastating scariest most dreadful thing in the world.

We all have it

We all wonder

We all try to assume

We all try to conclude a date in our mind

But the harsh truth is we don’t know.

Its unclear and unknown when the world will be without corona

When schools will be open

When you can go run up to your friend and hug them

When you can celebrate a holiday or birthday not over FaceTime

Something we can’t even see

Its so small is giving us the biggest fear of not knowing

It's more scarier than clowns or jumping off a cliff into the ocean when you can’t swim.

Because you know you will most likely live and grow out that fear

The fear of the unknown I don’t believe the strongest person isn’t afraid of not knowing

They won’t admit it but deep down in their soul they are so scared and in a bubble of fear

The biggest bubble of all

We are all there

All 7.66 billion people

We are in the same bubble of having the fear of not knowing

Not knowing only if corona will end the world but if their loved one still loves them

Or if the guy you like likes you back

There are so many unknown factors in today’s world

And its scary but at least one day we will find out

We have to be strong

And stand 6 feet apart but be together in our social distancing so we don’t spread this virus anymore.

So something so tiny doesn’t affect us and give us the biggest fear possible

The fear of not knowing because having this fear of the unknown about the world and your health

Not knowing if you even have corona virus until you reach the hospital and get tested I am sure is very uncertain and scary too.

Im sure there is a wait and too many people in that waiting room

Your temperature has to be at 104 degrees before you even can get tested.

By that time you are sweating to death which is another scary fear

Death which is what can happen if you have the corona virus

So even though having the fear of the unknown is scary so is knowing that you have corona virus

So wash your hands

Stay 6 feet apart and stay home because it's the only way of knowing that you don’t have the virus and it will help you cope with the fear of the unknown of when the world is without corona.
