LIFE IS A FOUR-LETTER WORD ...
LIFE IS A FOUR-LETTER WORD ...
(8 months now in post-COVID vaccine "crash")
To All My Dear Friends
Life is a four-letter word ...
And, sadly, that word isn't "good" ...
And, sadly, that word isn't "good" ...
Truth to say, it's not even "okay" ...
I won't lie ...
And would not, if I could!

Post-vaccine collapse so severe

I despair of ever returning
To where I was, pre-vaccine ...
Downturn is not upturning

Each day, I try to do more ...
Each day, I hit M.E. wall

Each day, I think: "I'll try to run"* ...
Each day, I barely manage to crawl ...
I know that good friends understand ...
And I know that they're wishing me well ...
Relapse?
Collapse??
Or new M.E. baseline??

8 months now, in post-vaccine hell ....
(* metaphorically-speaking, of course)
