Trapped in a bed. In a room. On the oncology floor.
Will they ever let me leave?
Another X-ray. More blood draws. Never-ending vital checks.
My body is trying to kill me. My soul is trying to live.
Back to normal. Something I’ll never have again.
Trapped in a body that’s not my own.
New Scars. Missing parts. Broken pieces.
Will they ever let me leave?
