The Hospital

My True Color
The helicopter came to pick me up… A short ride later, I was greeted by a group of ER workers asking me to stay awake… They thought that I might be broken… They apologized for the pain any movements might be causing me… By the look on their faces, I realized that I should be in massive pain and yet I wasn’t…
Somehow I was in bliss…
One of the nurses cut off my expensive tri-suit. I was completely exposed to a dozen strangers… Stretched out naked on the gurney, I was completely naked and yet completely peaceful…
What other choices do I have? I can not move and I can not speak… This is how I am – right here, right now… This is how I must be at this moment. I have no other choice… Not able to pretend, I can only be me, in the rawest form…
At this moment, I no longer cared how I appeared to the outside world. Knowing that I am able to breath, I felt a tremendous sense of freedom…
I feel lighter now… So glad that I can breath…
