She told me where I was
looked me in the eye and asked,
"ALyssa,
do you know where you are?"
I could only look back
dazed and confused
as she reminds me blatantly,
"You're in a hospital."
For a short period
I pretended it was unreal.
Then later when
reality kicked in I realized.
They drew blood constantly,
still never settled on a cure
but the treatment
is still stable and secure.
