The Chair

I sit in trepidation

Fearful anticipation

Not knowing what’s to come

Then comes examination

And then the explanation

I am numb

I

 am blinded by the light

Dazzling my sight

My nerves aflame

And so the treatment starts

Palpitations in my heart

I feel the pain

But at last returns the feeling

Slowly followed by the healing

I feel aware

If I’d only faced the truth

About the wisdom tooth

But I didn’t dare

And so I found myself

Rebuilding my health

On the dentists chair!
