Death At The Door Poem by Letter From My Mother's Womb

Death at the door

I've been weak,
I've been sick,
Thought to have been meek,
But my health, had many leakages.

It's been the headache,
The kidneys,
The heartache,
All, my sickening sicknesses!

I've went to visit the doctor,
The results were scary,
More like I wasn't watching, but reading fear factor
I don't know if it's because I am hairy.

She held my hand,
While I silently watched the hospital's door,
For a moment I pulled my hand,
I then fell on the floor.

She shed tears,
They were unending,
This increased my fears,
I then asked her, if she'd lost someone...

She said, 'No, but I'm afraid...
Afraid the world will loose someone,
And that's you! '
I stood there in shock till seconds later...

I reached out,
Out to planet Mercury since I was sorry.
I landed in Neptune, while in Jupiter and Venus
But Mars wasn't happy for Uranus

From then, I remember waking up
Up from a Hospital bed,
I saw a few angels,
Death at the door...
