Pre-Game Day Panic Session
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 13 years.
Monday mornings always carried a sense of dread
Preparing for the onslaught of the coming work week
Wondered what fresh mud laced surprises came up
As soon as the laptop was opened up and logged into
Which email came with the latest curveball with it
Headed down the pike aiming for my head
Trying to move away from the oncoming ball
Unable to do so from shock, fright and whatever else
Broadsided by the impact of that fastball head on
Knocked down to the ground from it
Worst headache and hangover combined
Hard to describe current predicament
Aware that tomorrow's appointment had to proceed
Needed to be nipped in the bud beforehand
Filled with a sense of unshakable dread
Difficult to shake it when wondering over next obstacle
Understood that life would never be smooth sailing
Craved to have at least one week break from this
Completely over the motion sickness from choppy waters
Taken so many pills that they resembled placebos
Had many voices of support; lucky for that
And the fact that this was caught a lot earlier
Told that nervousness very normal for what's going on
Waking up this morning simply made it more real
Intense feelings of a million ants crawling around my body
Nerves jumpier than ever; hard to believe that was possible
Focused on being upbeat after such an emotional downturn
Keeping fingers crossed that things will go well tomorrow
Glad that this doctor knew their stuff
Just wished it had to happen in the first place
Lucky to have someone experienced enough to help
Dreamt that it was possible to be in the movie Click
Use a magical remote control and skip over the hard part
Sadly, reality never like an Adam Sandler movie
Preparing for the next step before the main event
Ready to score a goal and jump over this hurdle
Time to get started in this race
Praying that I'll win this time.
