And I felt mother's pull on my hospital gown.
Suddenly the room started to get dizzy,
And in a flash my friend, the world felt heavy!
It felt as if the penultimate stage of my illness alas! got to me,
Those endless years of hoping to be free
Seemed pointless,
As I felt my soul waiting,
Waiting to just escape and flee.
The chaos in the room started to fade away,
The nurse frantically searching for tools on the doctor's tray.
"You'll be fine, just keep your eyes open", she said
Little did she know my friend, hope was long gone
And the disease just wanted me to slip away in the hands of death.
The incessant wailing of my mother stopped,
Her pleas wanting the doctor to circumvent me from dying
Seemed a little far fetched given my state.
Haltingly sleeping to begin again on the other side
I sighed a happy smile, feeling the pain subside,
The thread between life and death
Finally untied!
