I sit here alone with my thoughts
Thinking about so many things
Worried about what the rest of the day will bring
I think about the job I do
Am I good enough, what do I have to prove?
Did the patient last night make it through
I feel like I should know so much more
Because I never know what's in store
My thoughts sometimes get the best of me
It's time for me to let go and be free
Thoughts are there, why am I so scared?
Afraid to be alone
No one for me to pick up the phone
Racing thoughts won't stop
Tears down my face
Thoughts betray my safe place
Sitting alone thoughts in my mind
Close my eyes, breath and unwind
Body relaxes, a breath of fresh air
Thoughts make me so scared
Can't get the best of me I will never be free

THANKS YOU TERESA ~ You are so lovely. Another passionate and perfect poem ~drawn for your own dedicated experience. Only you could hav written this ! 21 lines pulsating with rhyme and rhythm. What are your THOUGHTS about .................. ? Am I god enough ? (YES) What do I have to prove ? (NOTHING) Did my Patient make it ? (YOU DID YOUR BEST) Why am I so ~ scared ~ afraid ~ crying ~ (because you are NURSE and a PERFECTIONIST) You will never be FREE ~ because (even though you are the BEST) for you even your best is not good enough. Thanks for caring # LOVE YOU LOTS & LOTS # BRIAN.

thank you so much
I think that you did a very good job on this one. It shows your inner struggles, I'm sure being a nurse is quite difficult.
thank you, still kind of new to poetry.
