Virus

A virus is like a war and you are the losing side.
It is persistent; testing its limits,
Torturing you until it captures your last breath.
A virus moves like a flood; spreading across the land.
It acts like a vicious killer.
Maybe deep down,
A virus is like that person you see wandering around the school playground,
Alone and misunderstood.
Perhaps if we took the time to understand it,
Only then would we know it's true capability.
