Terrors of Healing
August 7, 2015
Chemicals, medicine, and mold,
Looking around here my blood runs cold.
Today is the operation or so I'm told,
They take everything dear I hold.
Leading me into a room on a gurney,
My nerves inside me churning.
I concentrate on the lights that seem to be turning.
Darkness leaks in my vision blurring,
Waking to the greet of pain burning.

I wrote the orginal a while ago, most of it didn't make sense. So, I took a summary and made this for you. I had an operation when I was younger and anything to do with the medical scared me at that young age. To this day I don't understand why you have to go through something more painful to remove the pain you already have. Anyway, please keep in mind the image isn't mine. The image represents me getting over this fear but I'm still uncomfortable. That's why I took this image because it matches the emotions I'm stressing.
