Mommy and daddy, tell me please,
I’m so scared, what are these?
There are these tubes stuck in my arm
They hurt so bad, they do me harm
I cannot walk, my body’s weak
I feel faint, it’s hard to speak
People in white just sigh and stare
At charts and papers while they’re here
They don’t talk, they just look sad
Tell me, is my condition bad?
Lately, the nurse is coming more
It’s usually her who’s at the door
With cups filled with pills to swallow
I took them all, yet I still feel hollow
My fever just will not subside
I cant eat, it mars my insides
I’m always parched, and need to drink
My head is swimming, I cant think
My hands keep shaking the room’s like ice
Being better would be so nice
Mommy and Daddy, why are you crying?
Could it be that you’ve been lying?
I know that I’m not doing well
I know I’m sick, I can tell
You promised me I wouldn’t die
But now you’re here to say goodbye.
