White floors

Bright lights

The smell of antibiotics

The sight of theatrics

Pacing

Bodies wailing

The guilt weighing

Unsettled

Tweezers and needles

Here i am, stuck in the middle


A nurse trips

Blood drips

Water bath

She was giving birth

Screams

Heavy breathing

Anxiety breeding

Palms sweaty, hoping for a break through

Talking to the mirrors in the bathroom

Confused



You got this

You cleared the coast

Fingers crossed

A blessing in disguise?

A curse with a silver lining?

Looking at it lying

In the incubator

It doesn't matter

Its here

And its fucking beautiful.
