This poem was written in response to a doctor appointment I had today. It's nothing serious, but I thought I had a simple stomach virus over the weekend and now it turns out I likely have something wrong with my gallbladder. I am overall very positive about what diagnosis or outcome may come at my next appointment; however, I had some feelings I needed to sort out through the written word. Hope you find it enlightening and insightful!
First Encounter with Life
By: Alyssa
Today was an interesting day
I've been healthy my entire life
But now there is uncertainty
Even though it is minor and probably an easy fix
It is still a strange encounter
Especially when I reflect on my age
The pain has been severe, but nothing I can't tolerate
My past is starting to make sense
There have been times when I wanted an answer
Perhaps this is my answer
I'm not scared and I'm happy to have a direction
The wait is just the problem
Over 24 hours until my ultrasound
Then I will know for sure whether its an easy fix
Or there will be more tests
But hey, I don't have tuberculosis so that's reason to celebrate
Time is ticking ....
The research is done now all there is to do is wait and know everything will be okay.
End: 11:04 p.m.
