Chronic Illness

Having a severe chronic illness...

Feels like you're going to die. 

Anyone else who feels like this

Rushes to the emergency room

But when you are chronically ill,

you are afraid of the emergency room 

Waiting for hours 

In the bright lights

and being dismissed 

again 

and again 

and again 

and again 

and again 

and again 

and again.

When you just want your bed,

Quiet,

Dark,

And peace
