The medical field.
I have seen nurses walk by call lights that have been on for no less than 5 minutes
But have seen them mourn a life that was taken in less than two
Ironic?
I have seen doctors give a death sentence as if they were telling them they got a bad haircut
But extend out their cell phone number "just in case"
I have seen nurses justify why they didn't have time to check in on their patients because they are understaffed
But have seen them answer a call light angrily that pulled them away from their crossword puzzle.
A profession that forces you to be numb in order to protect yourself from the reality of death. A passion that ends up burning into lost and forgotten embers.
WHo is worth protecting...
You or the patient?
I am but a puppet to my heart's passion
In the crudeness of the night
Truth and shadows mimic the twilight
And things that hide in the light
Become plainly and vividly in sight
There is a rawness to utter darkness
It is, in my opinion, what many fear
Because inside your head, free of noise, it is a coward that always appears
As dawn lifts the sky and the sunlight draws near
Your reality begins. Enjoy your life of sin.

"This passion, this burn, this fire... it will consume me eventually."
Me, myself, & my mic

"My touch sets the pace as I lace my fingers around it's thin waist, and my voice sends static music that hypnotizes you without a choice, and my words? Oh, my words. They are the potency behind my sweet lips poetic bite. Just me, myself, & my mic.
Self Portrait
My body aches with desire
My fingers itch with passion
My mind yearns for truth
My heart screams for compassion
Live with purpose
Fight for a cause
Find reason for each breath you take
Because everyone dies
But not everyone lives
My fingers itch with passion
My mind yearns for truth
My heart screams for compassion
Live with purpose
Fight for a cause
Find reason for each breath you take
Because everyone dies
But not everyone lives

ahhhhhh I was afraid to read this when i saw the title.... Yet its so true the medical field is one crazy place!!! Some doctors dont have bed side manners it makes you think why they chose their profession...Money of course!!! In my opinion you have to protect the patient....Isn't that the point of providing the service?? Think about it, if that nurse or doctor was just a regular Joe they would like to know their nurse would be there when needed instead of playing crossword puzzles, or thier Dr. had a little more compassion when they realize they are about to die! People are shelfish and thats why we live in such a fucked up country!! But I hope to change that one day if the system doesn't suck me in first!!! Kay I love you keep writing mama it keeps me close to you!!!
