"A Doctor's Visit"
Smile
That’s what the nurse tells me because I am a “healthy gal”
Nothing’s wrong you are too pretty to be sick
The doctor tells me that I have nothing to be worried about
I rest my worries, at the words of the doctor and nurses.
But in the back of my mind, I know something is wrong
Looking in the mirror in the doctor’s office,
I think that maybe they are right.
You must be healthy
I have the long hair, clear skin, and I’m skinny.
Nothing is wrong
But I know something must be wrong
I cannot keep food down,
I sleep too much,
I cannot sleep enough some nights,
I haven’t menstruated in months
I’ve lost so much weight,
I barely have boobs.
But you are a Hot, Sexy, Healthy Gal
You are just thinking too much,
You must just be too stressed
You look healthy
Some women just have irregular periods no big deal
I look to say something more,
to continue the conversation.
That’s when he clears his throat,
Time to go.
He rests his hands on my small of my back,
Ushering me to the door,
but instead, it felt like a shove out the door.
A guest who overstayed their welcome.
And just like that I was all alone,
I was left in a silent abyss.
My silent sob just barely breaking the silence,
I had no thoughts nor feelings.
I had no boobs, no periods, no sleep.
But I was the Hot, Sexy, Healthy, Gal.
