It Just Hits Different

You said it’s over…

But it’s not over…

⸻

I was fine on a Friday night

Now I’m counting steps just to feel alright

Heart beats fast but I’m standing still

Doctor says it’s stress but it feels too real

Brain fog heavy like a cloud won’t lift

Same old body but it doesn’t fit

You move on but I’m stuck in place

Different life in the same old face

⸻

You don’t see it

You don’t feel it

But it’s living underneath

⸻

It just hits different… (different)

Not a cold, it keeps on living

Heart and mind — something’s missing

Long COVID… it just hits different

⸻

One infection, now the rules all changed

Energy gone and it won’t rearrange

You say “rest” but it doesn’t fix

This isn’t something you just push through quick

Months go by but it’s still right here

Quiet damage that we don’t make clear

You can’t see it on a screen or test

But it’s written deep inside my chest

⸻

You don’t see it

You don’t feel it

But it’s deeper than you think

⸻

It just hits different… (different)

Not a phase, it keeps on living

Every system shifting, drifting

Long COVID… it just hits different

⸻

Say it’s rare — but it’s everywhere

Say I’m fine — but I’m not there

If you knew what it takes just to breathe like this…

⸻

It just hits different… (different)

Yeah it lingers — never finished

Not the same — just diminished

Long COVID… it just hits different
