This piece is pure fiction and written for the contest. However ,I was a nurse assistant and these of type of scenarios did occur.

Happiness is nowhere in sight I feel as though I'm suffocating I cry everyday and every night This heartache is so debilitating I haven't been outside in almost year My home is has become a prison How can I go on? I leave in constant fear I will always regret that awful decision I should have gone home that day What was the point of working so long? It was a procedure that he did often You were so healthy and strong Doc did all he could to save you But for some reason you didn't respond I was there, when he said code blue That day I needed a magic wand Now I live in a prison(without bars) I don't want to be a nurse anymore I wasn't prepared for this, how bizarre You were my patient and so much more 10-18-16 Contest:Words Drowned In Tears Poetry Sponsor: Broken Wings

Tragically beautiful poem, Alexis. A personal POV experience? Anywho ... the sadness still lingers even after a little time has gone by after reading. That's how good poetry do you. Much love to you and yours. RW

How very sad, Alexis. I am not cut out to do medical work...can't imagine me being a nurse or a doctor...it would take its toll on me! Perhaps I'm too sensitive; I do admire their work....where would we be without them! Regards // paul
