You never realize
What you are

Living
Breathing
Feeling

Until you are
Put down for
Surgery

You lay there
Heart beating loud

Thump
Thump
Thump

Skin is pricked
And then soft
Darkness

There isn’t darkness
Tube in mouth

Bleary
Doctors
Pain

Nurse we have
A problem now
Sleep

YOU ARE UP
YOU ARE ALIVE

*****
Headache
Confusion

They tell you
You awoke during
Operation

You are angry
And kinda scared

What
The
****

Morphine is good
It kills pain
Away

You heal up
Normally of course

You
Never
Forget

The tubes all
In your head
Helpless

Against everything you
Are at mercy

Nurse
Doctor
Surgeon

Can **** you
And you’d never
Know
