Embedded

I am 'never' going to forget,
Being quarantined and isolated.
And those hurtful things said to and about me.
As I laid in recovery...
Fighting for breath and a return of my dignity.

That time spent as if I was a leper,
Is cemented in my mind.
And the experience of it,
Is a changing thought process embedded.
I am 'never' going to forget! Ever.
