Why I hate Hospitals

by Jaklynn   Aug 12, 2005


This huge ugly clock high on the wall
Gloves of all sizes hanging in boxes
Ugly walls and floors and tangled wires
I remember now why I hate hospitals
I wonder who's sat in these seats
Wonder who's died on that bed
Wonder what disgusting air freshener they use
Wonder how they mask the smell of death
It's that smell that always gets me
So faint and mysterious yet so strong
The spirits that seem to haunt this place
Getting revenge for dying here before their time
Wonder what happened to everyone
Disease or car crash or other tragedy
The tears cried in this very room
The lives ruined when green lines go flat
People talk outside the room
They seem happy and cheerful and nice
Bustling around even though its 4 am
I remember now why i hate hospitals
So many hours spent here in my life
In constant worry and sadness and prayer
However long I sit here writing this
I remember now why I hate hospitals.
