I Hate the Beeping.

Beep, Beep, Beep.


I ponder existence,

I wonder,

Why am I here?

Beep, Beep, Beep.


I wait for the nurses to tell me,

I know I am too sick.

Beep, Beep, Beep.


I do not fear what comes next,

I just want to escape now.

Beep, Beep, Beep.


I do not care what happens,

For I gave up long ago.

Beep.

I wrote this poem based off of my experience and struglle both mentally and physically when I underwent chemotherapy in middle school. I buried the experience inside of me for a long time, so I wanted to try and help myself start to recover.
