Hospitals

Hospitals,
A place of healing,
But also a place of death
A place where some are born and some die
A place where good news is given
Though it’s famous for bad
A place that just by mention, makes people worried

A place that can be calm or full of panic
As lively as a patient about to go home at some points
And other times as lifeless as another on their deathbed
At times full of talking, and paging and feet rushing around
And at others the only thing that can be heard
Is the walking of a single pair of nurses shoes down a sterile white hall
This is what hospitals are.

(Slightly creepy but I'm proud of it. Also wrote this for a non-rhyming school assignment in 8th grade.)
