Njeri Hunjeri Poet Bio

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
