often i lay in this hospital bed,
the drugs and painkillers drowning the thoughts in my head.

The doctor tells me that everything will be fine,
but I can see the sinister tone in his eyes.

He looks at my mother,
she looks back at him,
as if an entire discusion has taken place,
and no one even bothered to fill me in.

As the ending of another painful day draws near,
I return once more to that fiendish state of fear.

And as I leave the hospital,
in my wheel chair,
the nurse sends me a sluggish smile,
which discourages me and abdicates my hopes for a while.

Another day has come,
Another day has gone,
and slowly but surely,
my life carries on.

After hearing the story behind this... it is amazing
