Not Gone
The journey has been long
Death is not an option
As I lead my sister
Out of doom and destruction.
The world I knew is now gone
My mother has passed on
My father swept away at sea
A sister died trying to do something noble for me.
I'm a failure at this hero thing
All I have is a gut renching will to live
I've tried my best to serve and protect.
This quarantined city is an albatross around my neck
Stifling, drowning and struggling
Against nature's destruction
Is my case to bare.
Soon I will breathe air
Free from contagions and ash
I pray the sun to bake my back with its light of forgiveness and freedom.
The life I knew doesn't exist anymore
I must close and open a new door
I welcome normalcy once more.
