The Hospital
I stayed laying down watching the time tik by
A one night thing turned into a 120 hour stay
Feeling like me and my body weren’t on the same page
Laying in the hospital wishing someone could save me from silence
Saying goodbye to friends that visited hurt more than a needle in my arm
Knowing it was only a matter of time before I got to go home
An MRI like a big white machine with a tube that was

Finally packing up the gift and flowers and saying goodbye to the window I looked out of everyday hoping never to see it again
Knowing I was one of the lucky ones even though I didn’t feel like it
Nervous of all the school work I would have to make up but I was happy to leave
As I walked out the hospital doors like a free bird ready to fly back home
