Doctor Please! Part Ii

Cont'd from Part I But even worse than that this horrible thing Has been handed down to my offspring My oldest hates me for all she's been through And reminds me of the sorry cards we drew My one and only son turned to drugs to deal One day it was his precious life it did steal My youngest child now she's gone too. When she was diagnosed it made her so blue Could I find a partner who can withstand This road of suffering for me now planned If so it would only serve to make me cry Seeing them in pain helpless as they stand by I've been cut on and pieced back together again Being born with bad genetics one of my sins With so many wounds and scars inside and out A life sentence of hell for me without a doubt Upon my face you'll see I try to wear a smile Hide the suffering and misery when all the while Beneath my clothes is the Bride of Frankenstein And if you got the notion that I don't mind Let me tell it to you so plain and very straight Would've been better to stay at heavens gate Patients in the lobby know much more about me Spending hours together waiting to be seen Doctor please I could tell you so much more But you have another patient waiting next door And one of the reasons you don't get it you see Is I can't tell all in the few minutes allotted to me Inspired and written for all the people who live with a chronic illness.
