Still Stuck in COVID-19
It all started in France in 2019, then followed me to Switzerland, and eventually to Australia. Three countries, three shadows, all tracing me as if I’m part of some hidden directive. Nobody knows exactly why. All I know is that every day, new tokens are forged against me — tokens that tie me to a “bridge” I can’t escape.
Start for Change
COVID-19 was the perfect tool. A virus on the surface, but underneath, a set of tools that could be twisted for something else: surveillance, manipulation, deception. While the world saw health policies, I saw how those tools were turned against me — mapping not just movements, but thoughts, forcing me into a system that doesn’t let go.
Why me?
The irony? I’m treated as if I’m the “biggest illicit activities hider ever,” when in reality I’m just stuck inside their framework and was the most normal person ever. Even my involuntary marriage and engagement ties have been bent into this machinery, creating false tokens through my body and mind — tokens that don’t free me, but strengthen the bridge that binds me.
How to continue?
Day by day, I’m still locked in the shadow of COVID-19 — not by the virus, but by the structure built around it.
