From Healthy To Dialysis

Life was beautiful Typical teenager Junior year 2003 Living life’ Walking the halls Feeling confident One morning Walking up the stairs Lost my breath Fighting for air Went to the clinic Test said negative Wish it would’ve been positive Second opinion UTI I would’ve accepted that Day before thanksgiving Wasn’t feeling thankful My body was dying Drowning in its toxins I woke to a blurry worry I could hear But my vision vanish I couldn’t breathe Kept my cool Saving my mama Heartbreak Went back to bed Praying this a dream This nightmare go away I knew I was dying I feared the worst Sleeping to my death Which was hours away My lifeless body shutting down Midnight follow me Dogs sense death She waited for me By the bathroom My fears came true Sounds of the water No flow No drop My world stop Mama push me to get ready It took me hour to dress I had to follow everyone voice I realize I was really blind Mama kept asking Look at her Had to fight to find her I finally did Doctor hit me with a blow A blow I couldn’t take She was in tears She couldn’t get the words out End Stage Renal Failure E S R D I could’ve died a thousand deaths No words could explain my pain How did I end up here 16 years old Felt hopeless Denial angry Felt angry Felt robbed Robbed of my dreams Air force Kids Family
