The Ride

March 6, 2015

A never ending roller coaster ride
I feel like
I’ve been here a thousand times
Voiceless, Nameless, Undefined
White walls, frigid air, masked men
Whispers,
Thoughts racing through my head
Steely surroundings, yet a gentle grin
A blink, a blushing, and then blank
Awaken not knowing what to think
Is it morning, or is it night?
A daze without a clearing in sight
Royalty on a throne of thorns
My former self forever mourned.
A helpless child am I.

This poem is about my experiences in hospitals and doctor's offices. The feeling of being put under anethesia and how polarizing an OR can be.
