Red Alert


I haven't posted anything in a while because I've been dealing with some family stuff for the past month.
My Mother has been in the hospital since January 18th and is still there even now.
I wrote this on the 25th, a week after her she went into a coma and I wasn't sure if I was ever going to post this.
Since she is now out of her coma and is slowly getting stronger I feel strong enough to release this.
Thanks to everyone that has wished or prayed for my Mother's well being, it means a lot.

*This is the last poem I have written and will probably write for a while.*

"In the pain there is healing and in your name I find meaning, so I'm holding on..." - Lifehouse

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In your head lights are going off
Alarms’ going off almost daily and still nothing’s been done
You’ve finally quit putting your life on hold
You put your life in trained hands and your faith in something higher
Then you closed your eyes

It’s been too long since I’ve heard your voice
I can’t go on not knowing if you’ll be alright
Counting down the days until I see a part of you that I know in those eyes
Surprisingly enough not a tear has fallen from these eyes
Right now crying seems like the ultimate surrender
And holding back these tears is the only form of resistance I know
Be strong - Be brave - Be anything but afraid

Red alert, something’s wrong
I know that you can hear me
Are you still with us?

They’ve messed with your head
I didn’t know that it was broken
Nothing really matters until you’ve seen it with your own eyes
They’ve put you back together, so why is nothing working?
You feel like you’re fine today, but tomorrow’s always a different case
Leaving your life on the line is no way to live at all
Nothing’s certain, but things will get better
Things will be better as long as you’re around

Don’t do this for me, do this for yourself
You should know that we will always be around
Just take your time to get yourself together
We’ll be waiting by your bedside
Pull through - Let us know which way to go
Give us a sign that things will be fine someday
