Harmonious Keep

A hospital stay built on medication induced hysteria. Green coffee which bleeds into my subconscious. Pain caressing itself into my being just to remind me I am not in control. Tears of sorrow for not believing in an existence outside of my own. To make amends within this journey of anesthesia that I never asked for. My death must bring comfort to those who would not open their ear to the sounds of obedience without the reckoning within. Life could have been sublime had I not carried the burden of a free thinker who demanded to know more.

I recently had surgery and for weeks the pain permeated every aspect of my being. The post-surgery pain was my reminder that I'm not in control...that's a challenging concept especially when so drugged. Everything seemed surreal! Sometimes I carry the burden of being a free thinker...but it's a burden I prefer carrying over the option of being a sheep :-) Enjoyed your creation. Have a splendid Sunday, Sara
