I Want
To stare
out the window
in a hospital room
To have them watch
you in disgust as they
wait, as they worry
for your health
for your safety
To have the doctors
question your mentality
your capability to not
only thrive, but survive
To have you stand
To have you sit
To have you stay
By yourself in a room
where they all watch
you from a distance
Where they all want
you, need you to be
okay, to live through
it, the horror, the
shame, You
need to live
