~Moments~

Laying in bed, hoping to get a shut-eye After a horrendous shift of seemingly endless rounds However, I can't seem to block out the intermittent beeping sounds And the nauseating feeling trying to overwhelm me My subconscious replaying the most dreadful moments From the purulent discharging wound I had earlier dressed To the sound of the monitors at an emergency To the unsettling sight of one as he takes his last breath Every single event my mind has blocked out so seamlessly Gushing back in and knocking the breath out of me Consequently, I'm left in a state of utter sleeplessness Times like this makes me wonder why I chose to answer this call One that makes me obliged to serve One that has become etched into my unsuspecting soul ©Mega_word
