Hospital Days

Hear the sound of machines,

People in seats crying everywhere,

Scared something is going wrong.

Nurses and doctors running around,

No idea if it’ll be okay.

Give me some kind of hope,

Another day has gone by

And we’re still inside the white walls.

Trying to be strong for the people in the room,

Announcements calling out code blues.

Emotions flying around,

Someone tell me everything is alright.

Balloons begin to fill the room,

Get well cards being sent,

But no one knows what to say

Or how to help.

They ask how you’re doing,

Rate your pain on a scale from zero to ten.

Trying out different medications,

And no privacy is being given.

This is for my younger brother,

The one who has seizures

When he cant remember what happened,

And he's crying out in pain wanting to leave.

This is for my neighbor,

The one in a car crash

And had to be taken out with the jaws of life,

Leaving scars mentally and physically.

This is for my grandpa,

The one with the wonderful yet bad heart

So many procedures been done,

And maybe more to come.

This is for my mom,

The one who is in the hospital at this very moment

With no clue whats wrong,

Praying for the best outcome.

This is for the people everywhere,

Afraid for their lives,

Stuck in a small room,

Hoping it isn’t their last day.
