I Am a Old Lady
I am a old lady
I wonder if I will ever survive the next few nights
I hear people coughing and snoring
I see a lit up room with nurses coming in and out
I want to go home
I am a old lady
I pretend to smile at the nurses
I feel very sad
I touch something that feels like a pill
I worry if will ever see my grand kids
I cry when the ambulance people come into my room
I am a old lady
I understand that I am ought to die someday
I say that god will bring me to a happy place
I dream that I will go home and die there
I try to yell but my voice is slowly dying
I hope for freedom
I am a old lady
