21 Day Challenge: Something Wrong

There is something
wrong.

Something is
not right.

Anxious heartbeats expand and flee
into the night.

Though they escape,
I am pinioned.
Trapped by grey walls,
lab coats, sorrowed glances.

Hold me, please, someone?

I do not want to know.
I do
want to know.

I am scared
of the
something
that is
wrong.

Blogger ate my first comment, so I'll try to recapture my words....Pilotgirl, this poem touched a small, scared place deep in the pit of my stomach. What I mean is, you are indeed a good "poetrist". I'm glad you're doing 21 days of poetry. Sending yet another hug, because one can never have enough....
