Strange Place

Mommy! Daddy!
What are these strange machines
hooked to me for?
Why is there a needle in my arm
with a long tube and a bottle
at the top?

Mommy! Daddy!
What are these strange smells?
Why can't you be here at night
to tuck me in?
I'm so scared mommy and daddy!

Mommy! Daddy!
Did I do something wrong?
I promise to be good
next time.

Mommy! Daddy!
Why is there a huge bandage
on my chest?
Why does my chest hurt?

Mommy! Daddy!
I'm so sorry for asking
so many questions,
but I'm only six and don't
understand what's happening
to me.

Mommy! Daddy!
Please get me out of here
I'm scared!

Please tell me what you think

    Wow. ou really capture the fear and uncertainty that a child feels when surrounded by familar circumstances. They ask questions and then feel guilty about that to. Amazing piece. I really felt for the little one in this. Thank you for sharing. Good luck in the contest.
