needles and tubes
stuck in uncomfortable places.
tears and voices
drown the isolated room.
family and friends
gather around my weak body.
doctors and nurses
ask me too many questions i do not know.
pain and confusion
race through my veins.
six days and seven nights
haunt my soul as i lie in one position.
love and support
guide my body back to health.
happiness and relief
echo every day just knowing i am happy to be alive.
