Waiting in emergency rooms
Everything's beige
Neutral, indifferent
Anxious faces
Hoping for help
Waiting for answers
Nurses push buttons to open doors
Clipboard names are called
Disappear behind the doors
Say ah, deep breath, blood pressure
Recite symptoms, fight pain
Ignore confusion on surrounding faces
Another white coat orders tests
"Can you pee right now?"
"This won't hurt a bit"
Liar
Watch blood leave again
Wait
Wait
Wait
"We can't find anything wrong"
Again
Pain meds through an IV
So sleepy
More prescription paper
Another bill
Go home
