Hard Shoulder

A poem from 2017

This is a dangerous place
I don’t like it here
Life hurtles past at 70mph while I freeze
Cold and rooted to the spot

This is an emergency
Pulled over just when everything seemed normal
A day like any other until
My body broke down

My brain played ball
Retreating to my safe space
Kumbaya, my Lord
Waiting

This is a warning
The lights are flashing
The machines are beeping
They breathe for me
Breathe for me
