Step one: A clean slate
Working for so long
So many nights in a row
I lost me
There was no strength left
When I walked out the door
Each morning
And made it to my car
I couldn’t tell you
How
Or what route
I drove to get home
But I made it
And after the whole thing
After the final hours
Were finished
I still feel like a husk
So here’s to hoping
I have enough time
Between now and my return
To replenish
Renew
To breathe
Fill back up
With what I need
To keep fighting.

I agree with what Joxlrg said above, you and your fellow healthcare workers are the true superheroes of our world. Your words portray the fight you guys selfishly give for us all. We all owe you a debt that can probably never be repaid for the sacrifice you make every day. You have my and many others undying gratitude.
And you still find the time to share yourself so poetically in words and so beautifully in image. I am inspired by you

Ps, can I come tug that towel off and cuddle up with you?
