Outside the Dentists Office
The pains that pain
Are the most anticipated.
You know the gain
But you just feel defeated.
Imagine the pain that waits
As it crawls steadily towards you
You think, ‘’run to the gate’’
But the fear of fear stops you.
The blood in your veins stands
And then it thickens and turns to ice
You feel the pain arrive and arise
Even before it really does.
The pain that pains the most
Is the one that is anticipated.
You can see it move towards you
But always too scared to run
So you stand firm and wait
Hoping you won’t give in and gallop away.
