Poem
Words Like I’ve never felt the worst Like I’ve never felt it hurt You don’t know me now do you? Ghosts Haunting brand new unused minds Feeding on a soul alive You’ve not felt it now do you? Was a tough struggle, ‘Tween land and water War zone placed with the faintest border To paint the struggle, the hues uncertain Couldn’t understand why ‘‘twas so much harder But I was 24 days old When I went to the death’s door And you brought me back alive And I was 24 days old When I faced trial at court And you saved me in the fight If I did not find you then I’d be watching from the sky, Still 24 days old Gods Please don’t let her wander off Please don’t make this life too short Hear our prayers now will you? Too young for battle, she got no option She fought her way through the heard of monsters Still underwater, can’t reach the surface Would’ve given up if you let me surrender But I was 24 days old When I went to the death’s door And you brought me back alive And I was 24 days old When I faced trial at court And you saved me in the fight If I did not find you then I’d be watching from the sky, Still 24 days old Your needles prick me all day long But they stop me falling under the ground Where the monsters wait to drag me down To a place, I’d call home, if you’d let me go But I was 24 days old When I went to the death’s door And you brought me back alive And I was 24 days old When I faced trial at court And you saved me in the fight If I did not find you then I’d be watching from the sky, Still 24 days old Context: I obviously don’t remember any of this, but I had been diagnosed with meningitis when I was only 24 days old. Thankfully I made a complete recovery, and is quite healthy at the moment, with no side effects. People expect me to go to med school so I can repay the debt I owe to those who saved me, but I chose to study arts instead. I wrote this song hoping to release it and raise funds for a children’s hospital where I was admitted when I was diagnosed. But since I didn’t get a chance to do that, I decided to publish it here. Hope you enjoyed it. Thank you
