I sit waiting for the moment my buzzer goes off
The nurse will escort me through the brightly lit room
Of other terrified patients
The fear is not of what’s known to me
It’s because of the unknown
What I can’t control
What I won’t be able to see once they put me under
I fear the moments that will be lost to me forever
Once placed in my anesthesic hold
I’m uncertain of who I will come to be
Where I’ve traveled
And just how long I’ll get to stay
This time
I know they’ll be a next
I know once again, that fear will be my timid companion
Beckoning me to remain it’s friend
I’ll fight the feeling
As I would much prefer to be happy
With laughter by my side
And giggles my que for departure from the brightly lit room
That contains my fear
