However, I do need to say I don't have the doubts or concerns that I express in my poem... truly, I don't! So, not to worry, dear readers!
We were to write, using any style, with no more than 100 words, and 6 for the prompt:
I release all fears and doubts
My response is below.

It’s a small thing, really.
A little bump. Over here.
It doesn’t bother me much...
But there’s that infinitesimal,
festering fear
in the back of my brain,
under the everyday stuff.
That tiny black pool of doubt -
it’s enough.
The surgeon had her day,
The pathologist plays next.
Time to wonder and wait...
It’s the waiting I hate.
Yes, it is.
No, it isn’t.
I don’t like this game.
I wish I could turn off
that ugly voice in my brain.
When the cultures come back
and I know they are clear,
only then will
I release all fears and doubts
And live my life free.

I can so relate to this!! I hope all is well, and that the waiting goes quickly!
ReplyDeleteDid I miss something, dear Dreaming? I didn't know you had a procedure done. I hope all will be well and the waiting over soon. I, too, can relate to this.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone can relate to this . I certainly have!~Ames
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well! Waiting is the very worst part...the not knowing!

I am still recovering from the shock that my Godmother has breast cancer, she is 86 and refusing any invasive treatment just taking a tablet to halt the growth. I dont blame her , she is ready to meet God but more importantly be reunited with my mother who sadly died 34 years ago she was her best friend .
