Omikron

I must be famous, I see my name everywhere!

When I was a teen

I always felt like a virus

That divided every room I stepped into
And infected the world with my darkness.

It took me 13 years

Eleven therapists

Six doctors

Four pills

Two overdoses

Countless scars

Redefining my identity

To stop feeling like a virus.

Come 2021

I was managing, living

Not feeling like a virus

And then I see my alias, everywhere

"New Covid-mutation, more contagious than ever"

Big, bold letters

"OMIKRON IS SPREADING"

World chaos ensues.

They tell me I'm a virus

And all I can do is laugh

For the universe, though vast and hollow

Surely serves comedy of the finest quality

To remind me of what I've overcome.
