Trying to sleep but they won’t let me
Blood pressure and temperature? Check ✅
Laugh when they tell me “get some rest”
But they keep waking me, what the heck!
My roommate has been yelling since 2AM
I finally called for the nurse
Decided there was no way to sleep
The day just seemed to get worse
Hoping to go home later today
So far, all tests have been negative
Waiting for breakfast to arrive
Praying it comes with a sedative!
