which has left me upset;
discombobulated.
I dreamt I was imprisoned -
trapped, unable to leave;
but then I am.
In prison, that is -
my body failing, sick, weak;
a debilitating disease.
Hospitals are like prisons -
Soulless places;
I have lost all autonomy.
Chronic illness itself
Is a life sentence -
and hospital a place of dread:
There is no release -
it is a life sentence:
imprisoned without life.
Soon the doctors
will solve their dilemma
and put me in a nursing home
Another prison.
I am only sixty one
I am not happy.
