Time Passes By Poem by Winifred Harkness

Time passes by
I sit in this hospital and sigh
Listen to my mother cry
She is tired of me being sick
The clock is the only thing I hear tick
They say they know what it is
They say I’ll learn how to control my pain
Looking out the window and seeing nothing but rain
It seem that my sunny days are up
Taking the drugs they gave me does not seem to help
When they stick me with needles I try not to yelp
Time passes by
I sit in this hospital and wish to die.
