The Challenge
#29
I'm gonna go ahead and also post my contribution towards the rules Kyrios set. Sorry for being slow.

What Woe is me, to feel what I have felt
To move without a goal, an aimless search
Helpless, of streams neverending despair
To watch a loved one slowly wither off
Without a god, to what do I make pray
With claws so deep inside of me, bleeding
Truly, feelings I shall never forget

And now following the new rules. Both poems are closely tied, as I wrote them just now, at the same time, with the same topic but from two different views. The fear, and complete and utter despair of being powerless, but also the happiness and satisfaction when knowing someone else has the power to help, giving a fighting chance.

During the day, as before
They ask how you are feeling
Knocking on your door
To ask you if you're healing

During the day, nurses so polite
But when night has arrived
They turn, their eyes so bright

They are now vampires
Draining you of your blood
In the darkness of your room
Merely doing their job

I'm Thankful
I'm Overwhelmed
I'm Grateful

They are so very kind
Helping you get well anew
Warriors of life, spring to mind
Caring about you, dressed in blue

This one was heavily influenced by a song that was written by an 8 year old cancer patient. My own interpretation, my own feelings added to it.
