Avoiding

Freeze!

Avoiding that call

Will it matter after all?

This list takes its toll.

Maybe I’ll scroll?

Yet, it stands ahead of me

and it won’t set me free

Change that dentist appointment

look for another

seems like a bother

so daunting

haunting

as I avoid

Schedule for you, schedule for me

I know I have to

There’s so much to do

Frozen now

Will we get the answers anyhow?

Schedule for my back

Maybe healing will get on track

Schedule for my knees

will I need surgery?

Get a shower

maybe wait an hour?

I need to get out of this chair

to wash my long hair

but it seems like a chore

body dysmorphia

I abhor

So overwhelming

as it piles up

Those things I avoid

as minutes tick by

and they haven’t left my side.
