I was on the ground
Airway closed
Can’t fight
Can’t flee
Put in recovery position
Blackness
Then I heard her
“I miss you,
Won’t you visit?”
She was dead
But she felt so close
My body felt warm
Before being pulled away
Second Epi
People above me
I wanted to go back
To pay her a visit
But EMS came
Before I could see her

It never occurred to me
That one day
I’d wake up sick
And never get better
It never occurred to me
That I was born sick
And would never get better
It never occurred to me
That when I woke up
For my first day
Of middle school
That I was walking into
A place I would almost die in
It never occurred to me
That doctors know
Very little
Compared to what
We need them to know
I never dreamed
That nightmares would come true
And my dreams would drown
In pools of doctors notes
As I listen to insurance
Try to deny a prescription
That I needed to live
They said that dreams would
Always come true
But never occurred
That nightmares were dream too
It never occurred to me
That I’d wake up sick
And never get better
That I’d be scared
To go anywhere
And angry at everyone
For the answers they can’t give

Let me tell you of a girl,
Eating a simple lunch under a tree.
Pretzel sticks, an apple, and peanut butter for dipping.
The sky was blue, the sun shown bright.
The kind of day you might describe
As indescribably perfect, unnoticed.
Walked through but not talked of.
She sat embracing it as children played
In a pool near by on this warm summer day.
Let me tell you of a boy,
Who ran to play with his friends
A boy with blue eyes who couldn't swim.
Running with squirt guns around a poolside,
The pavement slick like ice but
The child did keep caution too
Until a kid behind pushed him in.
Flailing arms and voices screamed out
As a girl ran to see what was about.
Eyes closed, water had its hold
As a girl knew CPR keeping him going
Coughing and coughing, maybe it could work
Choking but alive looking at another with worth
Only long enough to fall back out
On the wrist of the boy was a medic alert.
"Peanut allergy treat with epinephrine"

Dear Ana,
I feel like I've had you on my mind, this whole life.
I feel like you might take me from this family,
Suffocating me, cutting me out with a knife
It's hard for me to understand why you follow so close,
At times when I eat alone, I think of you the most, Ana.
While other demons take a backseat you will never be ghost
They called me a freak in school with you on my chest
And Ana the nights you felt closest,
Are the times I wanted to rest.
When I see your face, you leave me breathless,
My heart starts pounding with my mouth trembling
You pull me in and whisper "let's end this"
As much as it pains me not to succumb to your song,
I pull your arms from my neck then you're gone,
Gone in a person but there in a presence
But I don't agree to that fate, yet have come to acceptance
So Ana, you say you miss me and every meeting seems dire
The doctors, they tell me, you're bad for my health
Still until I expire you'll never retire
And Ana feels access holding my throat in
With one injection and slowly i count to ten
Now Ana be silenced for a moment
But still talking from within.
Ana never leaves but keeps quiet until it's a struggle again
