When Will She Wake Up by Seizure

I hate nights like this, stuck in waiting rooms
And while the clock ticks, my brain just assumes
I think everyone, feels just like this
When they do not know, what the hell's amiss
But it feels like shit, and we can't help that
So I'll wait it out, I must adjust my hat
Air in here is cold, and a bit stuffy
The chairs aren't even, a little fluffy

I heard some wimpers, a little girl cried
I went up to her, I said she can confide
In me with what's wrong, she looked up in surprise
A tear ran down her cheek, we met each others eyes
She said her mom was sad, and went to bed early
She cut off all her hair, it used to be so curly
Then she took some pills, she said it was for pain
I asked her to stop, but it was in vain

The more she would talk, the deeper it got
Now the air seems warm, it is getting hot
She said her mom laid down, her eyes finally closed
Her arms were stretched out, her limbs were exposed
She said that wasn't right, her mom wouldn't wake
It didn't matter, how hard she could shake
She went to the fountain, and then filled her cup
Then she asked the question, "When will she wake up?

Poor little girl! I feel so bad for when the parent of a child just thinks that their mom/dad are 'sleeping' when they have actually passed away. Good poem.
