I choose you, fight on.

I choose you who is trying to keep it together under this dark cloud

I know it’s not easy.
To fear for your life everyday
To worry about your family each minute
To look death in the eye and see it’s scare
but keep going back to fight it
To wonder each day if you have caught it or it eventually caught up with you

It’s not easy,
when this monster has knocked at your door and trespassed your comfort zone.
You get confused, unable to differentiate between panic and actuality
When each breath seems shallow
When each cough feels like you breathing your last
When your body feels like you are carrying the weight of the world and sinking deep under

It’s not easy
When everyday feels like a count down.. and there are news of death everywhere… a name you know… a loved one…a friend… a colleague.. family… your social circle disappearing infront of your eyes
It is not easy….

I choose you today for keeping it together,
the battle is far from over but keep on fighting…
wake up everyday and say your mantra, ‘ I can fight this and win”…
say your prayer “Lord I feel tired but give me the strength to fight on,”….
meditate if you can so that you dissociate your thoughts from the pain and heavy burden for a minute, give your mind a break.
Chat to your loved one and have them know you are here.
Whatever keeps you going…

Be your cheerleader and for others too coz you can’t fight alone.
Lets build an unbreakable wall of unity in this fight…reach out and hold hands.
I know the odds may seem to be against us but a fall while trying wipes away regrets and feelings of guilt..

hold on my dear friend, you are not alone. Victory will come.
Remember, you matter.

Love always ❤️
Kelly.
