The Dreaded Shot

When I was younger a doctor’s visit was scary It could mean a shot; that dreaded dreaded shot. I remember being chased around the room Screaming and wailing in agony before I had one I think was about six. By the time they caught me and held me down I was sobbing in such a way my whole psyche screamed The shot was nothing compared to what I had done prior to it.

I still remember thinking"is that all it is?" I am pretty sure my dramatic twin got hers first and that probably set me off.
