lcohol swabs get me ready to accept
The needle into my vein
In it goes, releasing its warm, precious cargo
Straight to my brain, body, mind and soul
I’m being prepped for surgery
And boy are these nurses friendly
I wonder if-
Nevermind
I’m drifting off into my pleasant anaesthesia
The world is receding
And as it recedes
In come the doctors
Assembling and arranging their tools
Ready to slice me open and fix the problem
To remove this malignant tumor that is you
You’re like a cancer
And you’ve spread yourself throughout my body and life
Through every aspect
I need to get rid of you
But surgery may not do the trick for me
I might need some chemo
I might need one on one therapy
I might need mind control
I might just die to get back at you
Die to kill you as well
But there are still pieces of you stuck in me
Like broken glass and splinters
Though hard and painful to remove
Once gone you are free to heal
Now that I’m rid of you, I can start healing
Recovering
So stitch me right up
Just like new
Release me from this hospital
And make sure I don’t forget my new scars on my way out
