The Virus

We can trace symptoms
in several areas:
Cognitive, Emotional,
Psycho-social, Behavioral.
We’ve got to be careful
when we categorize,
…We don’t always see things
through holistic eyes.

One category rebounds
off of the other,
Sometimes they blend,
then it’s hard to tell one from another.
Scientists cut away to observe
one function with proficience,
But this profoundly takes away
from the personal experience.
For science,
They’re trying to observe the facts,
But in real life,
It just doesn’t happen like that!

My crowned-prince
Endured the epidemic.
For him, some think it’s just academic.
Sometimes he doesn’t feel he fits his role,
I encourage him,
To help him get more in control.
I give him regal countenance,
He’s the captain of my ship.
He takes me for a ride,
And connects me
          With the Silent One inside.               

We work together as a team,
I try to feed his confidence,
Encourage his self-esteem.
If his motivation sinks to the ground floor,
I give positive feedback 
Help him up,
Then watch him soar!
