A Nietzsche inspired poem

To Live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering- Friedrich Nietzsche

It’s midnight, and I’m hurt.

I lay in this hospital pondering when I will get better.

The nurses say my recovering is bound to occur anytime.

A place of healing for some but me, it’s a place of constriction.

However, the window near my bed is still open, keeping me company.

I’m like a puppet. Strings attached unable to move.

Wires everywhere, and I’m sick of it.

I was ill a long time ago. However, I’m too ill to realize my suffering as a person.

I stood up and look at the time. It’s still midnight. Nothing changed at all.

I’m sick of it. So I jumped.

In hope for the eventual blinding sunrise to illuminate me.
