Wake-Up Call

As I sit so very still

Shaking all over and feeling ill

As the silence drives on

I need to try and be strong

When I'm holding my hands

I look down in dismay

I see my pale skin

and the hand veins

My eyes are full of tears

Tears I don't want to hear

But I have met the fall

This unexpected wake-up call
