Grief.

When someone asks you how are you these days ..

is it ok to say I am grieving ?

Even if on the outside you seem to be totally fine

Even if the other person's grief maybe more than yours ?

I am just tired. Tired of bad news. Everyday and everywhere.

Feel like I am a part of a war where I see bodies lying around

and cant do anything about it.

Even if this passes, so what ? what about the people who suffered and died ?

their suffering will carry on for years..ages..their whole life.

time heals many things..

but time doesnt heal the loss of a parent

time doesnt heal the loss of a child

time doesnt heal the loss of life.

2.79 Lac Deaths in India so far, due to covid. 

due to mismanagament, due to irresponsibility, due to lack of foresight.

due to the 2nd wave, due to lack of facilities, due to lack of resources.

due to sheer bad luck. 

that is permanent. you never get over it. you just learn to accept it.
