Ode To My Gallstones... Poem by black panther eyes eastick

You have sat inside my belly
for so long now
it seems as if
you have become a part of me...
ten years i have carried you
felt you
felt the pain
as you created havoc
and ruin upon my body
i was not to know
of you exixtance
until
my
life
flashed before me
in a dream
in a vision
in a moment
when i placed
my hands on my belly
and discovered you....

i saw you there
clearly
a blockage
i had denied
too afraid to face
the inevitable
i saw
resentment
in two tight balls
crystalized
my anger
my sorrow
my pain
locked inside of me.

now its time to say goodbye
as i did to my ex
he used to say i had bigger balls than he...
and sadly
or funnily
its true
my time has come
to be rid of these lttle fuckers
that hold me back from experiencing
a pain free exixtance
no more gut ache
or searing stabbing attacks
no more lower back ache
as the pain swirls
my adrenals work overtime
the silent pain
i do not share.

Found myself an angel
a surgeon
a man
whose wife is a big girl
and theres nothing wrong with that!
he fondly felt my belly
made me giggle and swoon
commenting on my great stomach muscles
(underneath the fat)
but he didnt say that.
he admired my bicepts
as he took my blood pressure
i said
its the yoga doc
keeps me fit
he said
i can see that
youre as strong as an ox
lets get you right.
with a twinkle in his eye
he handed me a pen
i signed the consent form
it is done.
im gunna be a new woman doc
i said
as i sailed out the door.

goodbye gallstones
its been a pleasure
its been a pain
a relationship i will not miss
without you though
how will i feel?
Its got to be better than this.....
