“Lying on the White Bed”

 

Lying on the white bed, my head feels weary

Waiting for what’s going to come

Distantly hearing a beeping

Waiting for what’s going to come

A body of lead, truck to my head

Waiting for what’s going to come

Frequently breathing shallow breaths

Waiting for what’s going to come

Closing my eyes with fear in my heart

Waiting for what’s going to come

Thinking about all the bad things I’ve done

Waiting for what’s going to come

Seeing my loved ones remorsefully grieving

Waiting for what’s going to come

Feeling the cold sheet underneath me

Waiting for what’s going to come

Drowsiness and fatigue taking over 

Waiting for what’s going to come

Drifting to sleep, closing my eyes

Waiting for what’s going to come

Hearing voices and seeing light

Experiencing what has come

About the poet:
 
I recently began writing poetry and find it a great way to express myself. I enjoy organizing my thoughts and images into verse and prose. In addition to writing poetry, I enjoy hiking, reading, karate, riding my bike, and slack lining. I am currently in 7th grade, and I live in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire.
