Hospitals

• Artist: akatsukigrlX
• Description: i hate hospitals.
  i hate the way you sit and wait and nobody says a word,
  and everyone prtends its good and fine and normal,
  while around you the world is falling apart.
  and even though you want to cry, you hold it in,
  because if you dont act strong, who will?
  
  this is for my cousin, he was recently in a plane crash and has burns over most of his body. hes recovering now, but its painful. for both of us.

I never liked hospitals.
The scent of antiseptic mingling with rotting flesh
The moans and cries that haunt my dreams...

I spent the day staring blankly at the wall's sterile white
Asking God why it had to be you
Day old sandwiches lay stale on the stainless-steel platter next to your bed
And though I was hungry I could not bring myself to eat.

You used to pick me up by my feet
And carry me over your shoulder
And take care of me when no one else was there.
It is so hard to see you helpless
With your mother spooning in the applesauce
That will come back up in an hour.

After so many days here I wonder:
In a place that brings only sadness
Why not pick a more cheerful shade for the walls?
