Let Me Breath. -Coming Soon

I stared out the hospital window, watching the tree tops sway back and forth. The hum of a jet plan lingered in the high altitude of the sky above, I heard the chit chat of some teenagers down by the side walk and I saw there heads bobbing up and down as they past the building. Oh how I dreamed to just go for a walk on the busy streets, to hear the buzzing of cicadas in the evening, but most of all I wanted to be able to feel the soft, straw like grass beneath my feet and to be able to run barefoot for as long as I desired. I brought my hand up to the top of my head where the bald patch has increased through out the week, I felt a small feel tear wash down my cheek and whittled away on to my pillow. Suddenly my thoughts were broken by a small knock, I looked over to the source and it was Matilda my nurse.

“It’s time for your Chemo therapy Delilah, ready?” She walked over to my bed and put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. I solemnly nodded my head, knowing I was in for a real sickness for the next couple of days.
