What is it Like to be Hospitalized

They are Sick

...so sick that some will never leave
...so sick that some have changed their reality to a world of dreams
...so sick that they are always in pain
...so sick that death is a friend

They are Afraid

...of what the future has for them
...of what it does not have

They are Bored

...of living, of the loneliness of a hospital room which can be a long and tiresome experience
...the reality of the unknown is always present
...the thought that their friends and family have forgotten them is like an open wound
