LIKE TELLING YOUR PARENTS
–
Calling the “Doc.” ahead of time,
Showing it doesn’t feel fine…
Is taking a risk
An adolescent might miss
If they thought voice volume might climb.
–
Addressing my foot’s slow healing,
Worried at what’s in revealing….
The actual truth,
Will I be in the soup
Losing work for my poorly dealing?
–
It’s healthy to face one’s fears,
Despite risking those prideful tears…
Only one way
To get through the fray,
Is to not allow one’s health to be in arrears!
