Epidemic

There’s a virus that has been spreading rapidly It is not contagious but very deadly once contaminated The moment you realize that when affiliated by it you become another statistic Another victim and you are just that one out many you battle it alone because it is an affliction that cannot be cured so you learn to live with it It eats up from inside out and no one really understands How you feel There’s an ancient epidemic One of the many symptoms are shame.silence and guilt You fight it alone because it’s has become so normalize in our society You do not fight at all because you know there’s nothing to fight for You become numb and detach yourself Becoming shallow to reality To your reality Dreaming of alternate universe Wishing for Days that differ from your current Existence and You wish to perish from the face of the earth There’s an epidemic It has been use as a weapon in war and love and it has spread wide and far It has always been someone’s reality And the people respond As they have always done well with Shame Blame Questions Pointing fingers Instead of comfort and justice There’s is an ancient epidemic And It’s no longer acceptable to maintain it secret
