Patient Waiting

Waiting patiently,
Post-covid chest
In West Suffolk
hospital
every two months.

Physical barriers
To recovery
I face, with mental
and financial scars
cutting past my breath.

I seek reassurance
From other patients,
Stangers to me-
To lessen my symptoms
We laugh and recall.

Conspiracy theorists
I say, should
live with my cough
And pain to re-judge,
I wish it was.
