Hospital

Swarup Bhattacharya

Hospital.

I entered through a glass door.
A staff was pusing my wheel chair.
Then I got in an elevator.

When i reached by my bed
I saw many patients were lying on their bed
as if they were dead.

My nose sensed a pungent smell of medicines.
The room was chilled.
I entered into a different world.

The air was filled
with pain,sympathy.
A world of concern,no apathy.

Everybody was lying in solitude.
Fighting with own mind.
Life is here silent but rude.

    Your vivid description of the hospital experience captures the atmosphere and emotions within those walls. The pungent smell of medicines, the chilling room, and the sense of entering a different world all paint a powerful picture of the hospital environment. Your observation of patients lying in solitude, battling their own minds, reflects the complex mix of emotions and struggles that can be found in such places. It's like a world of its own, filled with a blend of pain, sympathy, and resilience. Your words truly bring out the depth of the hospital setting.
