hospital stench,
non-stop sliding of doors, swift cold air,
walkers screeching, infants screaming,
endless heart palpitations, intestinal burn,
disbelief ringing in my ears as my heart overflows with fear.
family and strangers all around, yet i sit in an acute sense of loneliness and isolation.
the overwhelming laughter and chatter intensifies
as though the pain within me does not matter.
these cold walls with the ability to trap a soul forever....... have me entrapped, betraying my weaknesses.
thoughts and feelings pass through the silences of the mind deep inside this cold wall trap.
