The Doctor

Hurried,harried healing man talking,testing,tennis tanned hearing hardly half I say rapidly writing, runs away. Hurting hand hot to the touch, brutal burning hurts so much demeaning doc dismiss, deny confused and crushed, just want to cry. Chocolate, cookies, candy, cake? feeling fat, a phoney fake, years of yearning for a crumb, disbelieved, daunted, dumb. High horse healer, hero of hope, did you decide that I'm a dope? so sitting silent as a stone I'll nurse my nightmare all alone.

Doctors can be so cold and heartless. I guess we need to deal with that, but as long as they make us well I guess that is all that really matters. Excellent alliteration. Sorry for my typo in my other comment - don't have the option to correct it yet. Good luck again Danielle. Love, Shar
