Take Me Quick
yep,it will be my time soon enough
crushed pills with apple sauce
Hospital staff cleaning my flesh and soiled sheets
and of course a wheelchair.
I've seen the ill,the forgotten, both by family members and friend alike .
I've seen the agony,the loneliness,the heartbreak.
I looked into the eyes of death
while my hands have been held by the sick.
a caregiver sees the brutal reality
it
comes
for
all
of us
it does'nt mean I have to like it.
