Save me, if you can

Hi Everyone,

Hope you're all doing well! It's been quite the year for me. My apologies for "coming back" and disappearing shortly after. I've had quite the year with classes and all. I've had this site for almost 4 years now... how time flies hey? I'm looking to relocate to a new site, so I'll be keeping you all posted. It's currently under construction! But in the meantime, here is a poem that I wrote about an experience/encounter I had with a patient of mine. As a nursing student, one of my favorite times in the week is in our clinical practicum where I get the chance to have some hands on practice, but also build meaningful rapport with patients. I've combined aspects of some old poems to this. See if you can find the easter eggs ;) 

Save me if you can

The earth shattering slam of the wooden door

lay in reminisces of chalky slivers.

A fist of iron, and a body of rock

now crouches against a wall

using it as a boulder of support.

That was me, rather… is still me

But I can’t help but see the world

Run like a movie, without me.

I’m not who I was, and I can’t keep up;

What was is now

Shattering,

Changing,

“I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing,

I just keep making mistakes,

There’s so many bad things happening,

I broke all these relationships,

How can any of this be okay?”

The ticking of the bomb never diminishes;

the seconds get closer

to forever darkness

and here I stay

unable to make a judgement

Is there hope? Or shall I go?

I don’t know why,

But there’s this pull.

I think it’s called hope.

I no longer want this raven to fly across the sky,

To close this chapter of my life;

No more last goodbyes.

Bring me back,

To the days when

Waves were a' crashing into the sand

And the moon reflected the beauty of the sun.

The times where a librettist would perfect his libretto,

And the potter; mastering his clay.

Where the hummingbirds feed off orchids,

And horizons meet the prairies

In a warming outstretched hand.

Bring me back to a time

Where I had a purpose and could see

The colour in this land.

Fix me,

Help me,

Save me if you can.

Music is for Healing <3
