Doctors appointments
and hospital visits
waiting rooms that
are not expeditious.
No one wants to be here
and those that are
try to hide their fear.
Broken bodies and
troubled minds
all looking for answers
that they can’t find.
Some will be told
that all is okay
while some poor souls
will be told it’s time to pray.
A revolving door for
all sections of society
a place not designed
to ease your anxiety.
For those who work here
it’s best to be blind
even when they face
the accusation of being unkind.
There is no easy way
of sharing bad news
and being ambivalent
only serves to confuse.
Whether it’s just a visit
to keep spirits up
or even if just for
a routine check-up,
when you arrive
at the hospital entrance
it’s near impossible to
show a sign of forbearance.

so true
