Trapped

Day-26 NAPOWRIMO-2021

A phone call and your world

Turns upside down. A friend

Without saying  goodbye.

Carried childhood memories

To the other world.

Another one on ventilators

Struggling to survive.

And one more hits the bottom

When the results came out

How can one bear

So much pain around,

People who were part of your life

Leaving silently without warning

And you just stare at the walls

With a numbness trying

To absorb the distant wails.
