Fever, headaches, cough,
fatigue, shortness of breathing
No response to medicine
Oh Corona virus…! What is this hell?
Are you playing with me?
Am I your host?
Why did you come to my body
without my permission?
I fear you, I’m afraid of you….
I don’t like to hear your name...
Now,
Please get out of my body
I want to live in this world
I want to smile again
Please give me a chance to breathe again
