Nathan Murillo’s poem
It's 5 am, I'm in my room, tossing, turning, don't know what to do
Then all of a sudden I get a sharp pain in my head.
This feeling of my body
shutting down just started and this is new to me
I don't know what to do my heart racing,
jumping, skipping, it's moving fast, numbness through my whole body.
I need help.
I want this feeling to go away
I want to go to sleep
I need to breathe, I need to calm down,
My grandma is here to comfort me.
Going to the doctor feels like it's been hours.
I am there only to be told I am fine and healthy although I feel like I had a heart attack.
This is only the start of many.
