survive

Long story short, I survived

I leave the hospital room

I still pray for the nurse who held me one last time and says "don't give up"

I pretended to be tired so I wouldn't have to fill out another paper

But I know, my life has just began

The bruises are gone and the tears have subsided

These pajamas now has a meaning

I know what it means to be on the edge of life

And I choose to enjoy every roads drive 

They wanted me dead or alive 

The greatest thing I did last year was survive

And I did my job right.

It sounds as though you endured a fierce ordeal. It also sounds as though it hasn't destroyed you. Not everyone can say that.

After all, I'm alive. There's falling down in life, but most of the time we get back up. It is very valuable that you comment on the poem I shared an important piece of myself. Thank you so much sir! Have a great week!

And I'm glad you did. It's nice seeing your poetry written here. I've always thought of people who've gone through hospitalization as heroes for what they've been through.
