Waiting

Sitting in a waiting room once more
All in the hope of extra vigour to explore
Two weeks in with no change 
No feelings of wonderment to exchange 
Silence is not part of the mind
Just static noise is there to find
Enjoyment in life has been destroyed
Happiness and longing is all devoid
One day at a time they say
All there is to to do is hope and pray
That one day this will all change
A full life to still arrange
One week on there is nothing new
Another week of torment that flew
Feels like nobody listens
By doctors nurses and physicians 
Instead of helping I’m the problem
Be out the way quiet and solum 
I wish the would help and understand 
Close their mouth and offer a hand
Instead of making me suffer 
You are making me weaker not tougher
For now I keep on waiting
Continue acting
Until next time 
Or a faster decline

Hello Andy DW. , It sounds to me like they do not know what is and where is your pain. You need a second opinion. Enjoy your evening my friend. /Darlene/
