The Elevator door opens slowly.  

I can’t help but feeling so lonely.  

Everyone sits still.  

Looking at the scene always gives me a chill.  

 

Everyone is on their phone.  

I look at my mom and moan.  

All eyes are averted at the call of a name.  

Like whomever is called on has great fame.  

 

They call my name.  

“It’s my turn,” I proclaim. 

I walk into a room.  

I smell the faint aroma of doom.  

 

The lights all shine down.  

My feet almost touching the ground.  

A shadow walks through the door.  

I hang my head and look on the floor.  


The author's comments:

I have a rare disease called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I was unable to walk for almost 2 years. I wrote this poem to describe the pain and fear I feel whenever I go back to the doctors.
