Patient at work

Gabriella

They told me about her

Before I even saw her

She’s been in and out of hospitals

Having surgeries and feeding tubes

I keep asking why all of this happened to her

But no one tells me anything

A lady told me that she has

Something going on inside

Deep emotions, she hides

They say she might have been raped

Maybe some abuse, from her father

She’s only 11, so hurt and confused

I finally saw her in person

And my heart fell to the floor

She’s the sweetest little girl

How could anyone do such a thing

I can’t get over how sweet she is

She seems touchy and scared

She got her food and sat alone

I wanted to go over and sit with her

Just listen to her talk or watch her sit in silence

It didn’t matter really, as long as I gave her company

I noticed she doesn’t eat much

Not many of those kids do anyway

I see theses kids and I just want to take care of them

Like they are my own, since their lives are wrong

I wish I could help more then I am

I just look at them and I just feel helpless

Because all of them are hurting in some way

And I just serve them food and give a smile

When most just want a hug or comfort

It just hurts to just watch them walk away

Knowing they will never get better..

Some emotion cannot be lost. To hurt a children who mind is innocence and being built. It something that I don't understand. A powerful poem. The story seem so real. I like the feeling to comfort and help the child. A very good poem. Thank you.

It is simple and shiny. Your point is quite clear through honest taking of words.

Thanks!
