Dear God,

Hi Big man
It's been long since we spoke
As usual my mind is churning and turning
My friend was admitted to the emergency and God my heart stopped with insurgency
I stood by him almost breathless
Fear gripped my heart tight and I feared I may be the next emergency
I struggled for some more air
All I could see around me were just the motions
Of how people moved up and down in the hospital
Nothing was audible
I grip the bed almost tearing the sheets
What's happening to me
My heart is not working
My lungs seem deflated
My chest feel tight
And my friend doesn't feel right


In a span of 2 minutes, I manage to regain my normal physiology
Throughout my journey to this place
I knew that if I heard my friend was in critical condition
I would hide my face
And in tears cry to God that my friend had had enough of pain
I'd be plain
Id not mince my words
But now my friend is stable
And helplessly I watch as my lips purse
And my prayer becomes sparse
'Don't give my friend grief,Lord'
'He's had too much'

I can't breathe
It's choking here
With the smell of ether and disinfectant
Many people strewn about on the beds
Some breatheless some with creased faces
Significantly writing to the World about how excrutiating their pain is
I sympathize,greatly
But my friend doesn't belong here
He must leave quickly
Fear is trying to play monopoly
But I'd not allow it
We both don't belong here
At a place where sirens rush people in
And never take them back
A place where people in the white overall
Look on and try their best,after all


Dear God,
Please keep my friend safe from harm
Let him stay forever on your right arm
Protected from shackles that bind us to pain,agony,tears and so much suffering
And yeah, I need some oxygen in my life

                           Forever,
                           Your love!
