I'm warm. ( inspired by another poets awful situation of being stuck in a hospital)
I've walked those halls before
didn't care for it
had to watch a doctor tell my good friend
her little girl would never go home
her tears stained his scrubs
along with her daughters blood
she looked at me and just said no
please no
broke my heart
and then it broke my heart
to see her admitted the next day
said she swallowed a dozen pills
couldn't blame her
would've done the same thing
they sent her straight to the fifth floor
she'd be safe there
safer then being in any other wing
the other wings are filled with noise
baby's screaming
old men coughing up lungs
help calls
and the beeps
I hated them long beeps
always sent up a little prayer
and I'd go home cold
pining to be anyone
but the helper
wishing I was on that fifth floor
where it's warm
and safe
she don't walk this earth no more
and I don't walk those halls either
not since my grandmother took her last breath on one of those beds
the halls I walk down now
are filled with delusions
anger
hate
sorrow
sacrifice
screams
and different types of tears
but yet
it's much warmer here

Well done, G. It's strong, direct, emotional, truthful, terse and straightforward in the telling of it. Quite impressive. It even reminds me a bit of some unnamed friend's style.

I feel this, I hate hospitals.
Well, I hate being in them,
not what they stand for.
Very well written :)

You've become attached to your pain. Beautiful premise has translated to a beautifully sad piece of poetry. I hope it reminds you of more than this, there is good in everything. Even if it's barely there
