Years of waiting to be seen, bucking, grievances, lawsuits
All in the hope that a doctor
Will hear you, take you serious
Finally you get cleared to go!
W/50,000 volts strapped to your arm
You step into a doctor’s office
His smile instantly tells you,
This will not be your day
your pain is ignore, down played
previous ultrasounds disputed
of ever having been done
the lump isn’t concerning
three years of discomfort and pain
reduced to nothing
have I been grinding my teeth?
Have I been hydrated?
Have I tried yoga?
No, he can’t do a biopsy, no,
he can’t do an MRI or ultrasound
bureaucratic brutality
all with a smile
Oh, here’s the first ultrasound results
Found it i guess
I guess we’ll recommend another one,
it’s up to the prison to set it up though
3 years of pain and waiting, all to be ignored
Over a 7 minute meeting
Then return to the arms of my enemy
7 minutes of smiling and my pain in fear
Would have rather took the volts
