Truths: The poetic journey of a doctor

In my heart, a physician's plight,

A moment near, casting shadows of light.

To deliver news, a weight I bear,

My emotions are entangled as I prepare.


A patient awaits, eyes filled with hope,

In my hands, their confidence I must elope,

A poem of emotions that is whispered within,

As I walk on the path, when the truths begin.


Before words slip through my lips,

A symphony of emotions, my heart is equipped.

Anxiety dances with anticipation's flame,

Compassion anchors, guide my aim.


For good news, relief, and a joyous embrace,

Healing words, offering solace and grace.

To witness giggling, as burdens lift,

A moment of victory, a precious gift.


But for bad news, a heavy burden to bear,

Delicate words, enveloped in the greatest care,

To soften the blow, deliver with grace,

Supporting their travel, in this somber space.


Mixed within, empathy intertwines,

A tapestry of emotions, where compassion shines.

The responsibility conferred on my soul,

Sail in the heights and depths, reach the goal.


Yet amidst that emotional quest,

I find solace in knowing I did my best.

To alleviate their pain, to provide a hand,

As a doctor, I can help them withstand.


As I approach the patient's door,

Feelings entwined, a torrent to explore.

I gather strength, for the information to impart,

Empathy and love are the ingredients of my healing art.


For in this sacred role, I find my vocation,

To walk beside them in each revelation.

Having a heart that listens and hands that heal,

To deliver information, with compassion's zeal.
