I Live On Poem by Prabalta Rijal

This poem was written in 2010, at the hosiptal, before going into labour, it had been over two hours since my water broke, but I had not gone into labour and the doctor's kept postponing my operation, as they thought that natural birth would be possible. It was at this time while I lay on the hospital bed that day I kept worrying about if I would die, if I would get to see my child. I wrote these lines down on my mobile phone, I was scared I knew something was terribly wrong, I wanted to see my child, but wasnt sure I would make it.
