The CMO Curtain (A Poem)
Submitted by Jennifer Carolan BSN RN CHPN
It’s not the news I expected
The treatments, the drugs, they all rejected
What will I do now, who will take care of me?
Darkness and doubt is all I can see
When will it happen, will I be alone?
Will you see my grimacing, will you hear my moan?
I count on you to help me
To be my guide through this journey
Anxiety, pain, and helplessness, this is what I fear
Please don’t pull that curtain
I’m still here.
