As I walk in the sunset,
Through silent, empty streets.
They peer through their
Windows.

People are afraid of me.

The virus has arrived
This newest of disease,
And with it comes the worst
Of humanity.

"Stay away from him.
He's Asian. They have
That coronavirus."

First off, I'm American.
I have to live here, too.
And yes, I'm scared,  I am.

I swear,  I'm just like you.

But don't look at me different.
Don't walk across the street.
Don't lift up your collar or
Tighten your mask
When I smile and wave to greet.

I am human. Not a monster.
I am not your disease.
Don't blame me for the mistakes
Of man.
I'm just trying to be me.

I just want to believe...

To all the stopovers
and endings
the delays
and the in between
and the waiting.

I know that it was God's plan
so I will keep still
while pouring all my faith
and trusting God's hands.

amid the chaos,
I found peace
Troubled mind;
restless heart;
damaged soul.
All came in piece
but I will not be swayed,
gonna keep the faith
every pain will be worth it.

Sometimes
The panic
Is more dangerous
Than the pandemic

To find your love,
you must be keep up
of what you love.
Doing the part
of what makes you jump
into life
and knowing
who you truly are.
