Out of My Sight Out of My Hands

Listen to poem:

they're rolling him away in a wheelchair down the hospital hall out of my reach cutting the cord promising to bring him back they're rolling him away his future in their hands leaving me in silence alone with my fears wallowing as i wait with nothing but hope AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Posted on September 11, 2018
