I spent my days cleaning
I spent my days scrubbing
I spent my days making sure
I did everything right.
I washed my hands
I clean the door knob
The controllers and phones
Counter tops and all.
I wore my mask
And stayed inside
And then one day I got a fever.
There’s no way
Not to me
I did everything right
My legs weakened when I got the call
“Miss H, it’s Jane from Kaiser”
Omg no!
Why me? What did I do wrong?!!
I closed my eyes and slowly drifters away
“Miss H, you there?” She asked
I’m I going to die?
God Lord I’m not ready to go
I had so many questions
Where, who, when??
But those questions will
Forever remain unanswered.
I told everyone who needed to know
Then one day as i recovered
Oh yea did I mention I didn’t die?
Anyway, one day while I recovered
Miss H, you’ve been served
Served? By who why
He think I lied
He think I joked
What does he think?
This is a hoax?!!
It was brutal
It was inconsiderate
He tried to take my baby away
He tried to kill me
He prayed I died
But little did he know
I’m strong like a rock
