The pandemic began and has not ceased to end.
Day by day living with fears and anxiety.
Doors are forced to be closed,
All the windows too.
Going out is never the same a before.
Borders becomes a locked door,
Roads forced to be empty.
Building asked to be shut down,
Salaries become memories.
The artificial face becomes an identity,
Screens become the only things to stare at.
No longer can a mother hug her children,
No longer can a child comes home to his parents,
No longer can the grandchildren visit the grandparents,
No longer can a husband comes home to his beloved wife.
A pregnant wife gives birth alone accompanied by only a face on the screen.
A dying loves one can no longer be hug for the last time until the day they are buried.
All conversations are made through call or perhaps if they are lucky,
A video call that runs smoothly without pauses.
The pandemic started,
It has not shown an end,
The graph is rising to show no sign of going down.
Some gave respect,
And they suffered internally,
Because...
Some gave ignorance.
Do you know how it feels?
Seeing only through a screen.
Being able to see while not being able to touch.
Do you know how painful it could be?
The longing to hug a person you can no longer see.
It is painful beyond the scale.
Unexplainable through words.
It is a sad memory.
I am in charge of a video conference for patients and seeing how they have difficulties breathing and trying to teach them how to breathe properly through a poor video call connection is sad. Giving them instruction on what exercise they can do without being able to catch if they almost fall.
Seeing the acquaintance in a full protective suit with their voices barely heard. It is a memory that I no longer want to experience. It took some time to be stronger and face reality.
It becomes worst when I am talking to someone today and the next is news about death.
Some said the numbers are lying but the truth is the numbers are more than seen on the screen.
