Hospital every year,
then every two.
This fragile heart needs mending,
for it's more than *******
Two surgeries,
three months
and seven years.
There were so many tears.
My heart is so fragile,
it needs great care.
I will be fine,
as long as it's there.
Aspirin for six months
and probably more when I'm fixed again.
Medicine and hospitals are part of me,
as am I part of them.
I was born this way,
though I wish it weren't true.
It was merely a mistake,
or was I the accident?
"I don't mind hospitals."
It's a partial lie.
They seem normal to me,
but a screaming child
keeps me awake
when I try to sleep
the beeps away.
Let's take a moment
to appreciate
that we have technology
that keeps my heart awake.
I'm not alone-
I already know.
My mother was there too.
Maybe that's why I'm so askew.
The nurses are nice,
the surgeons are kind.
I just wish the matresses
were a bit softer... (:

Yep, I have a heart condition.
