My first normal day in years
If you could call it that
I’ve been in and out of hospitals
With test and treatments and monitors and ivs
A fresh start
For new accomplishments
For new mistakes
FIVE
Full of tradtions
And superstitions
Pray for tomorrow
FOUR
Drunken bodies
The count down
Its almost here
You’ll never reach
Your fiftieth wedding anniversary
Your fortieth birthday
I won’t be able to tease you
About being “over the hill.”
You’ll never go to
Your thirtieth high school reunion
.Twenty nine and fully broken
time has burnt all it awoken
twenty six and somewhat fearing
quickly hope keeps disappearing
twenty three and slightly doubting
pushing through with fights and shouting
3 minutes without oxygen
too deep underwater to
wonder if I can get to the surface
3 hours without shelter
tooth chatteringly cold and I
want to go home
3 days without water
