Let Me Jump
On the fifth floor of the hospital
I walked to the corridor
Where on the other side of me
I could see babies in incubators
Sleeping calmly
Covered warmly
The wall was just mid high
Reaching my shoulders
From my left side i could see lots of
Kids who had swollen necks
Very sick kids but they had the best laughs
I looked below me and i felt the pull
I just wanted to leave this world
Three weeks in the hospital
Two major surgeries
Only a teeenager
No food for a long time
My body flowing with pain medications
I wasn't me at all
I wanted to be free with a fall
He came and tapped my shoulder
Wearing his nurse suit he told me that i wasn't supposed to be out there
At least not alone
He walked me back to my room
Asking me if i wanted to talk
Assuring me that all will be well
During my stay, a friend repeatedly reminded me that God will never give me something that i cant handle
