Sitting alone in the waiting room
Her hands folded on her knee
Here to hear the results of a test she didn’t want to take
At a clinic she didn’t wanted nothing to do with
She waits
She watches the seconds tick away on her watch
Looking up at the clock on the clinic wall to make sure her watch wasn’t wrong
She finds herself gazing out the window debating just walking out
Deciding to stay, she looks quickly at the nurse before back down to her hands
She waits
Time keeps moving
She feels anger bubbling beneath the surface
Why her, why had she not have been more careful, hadn’t ignored the signs
Her life changed
She waits
What seems like an eternity
She waits
Finally a little old women with white in her hair comes around the corner
Looks her in the eye, with a warm smile says, “the dr will see you now”
She stands
Takes a deep breath, waits over
