Notes About The Poem


Hypochondriac

He sleeps and dreams exercise;
             packs his refrigerator
          with fruits and vegetables.
            A "clean eater," you see.

            A worrying germophobe
              so afraid of falling ill;
  Don't dare cough or sneeze near him,
               for he'll run away!

I can, unfortunately, relate. Not sure if I would be clinically diagnosed as a hypochondriac. It could be just a part of my moderate to severe general anxiety. I hope you don’t deal with this too.

Thank you for the wonderful comments and visit, Anna:-) I don't know what it feels like to be a hypochondriac, lol. Thank God! I'm so sorry you're suffering with anxiety:-( I pray that it continues to stay under control. Blessings to you!
