Anxiety is
like mental, not physical,
hypochondria
Tag: anxiety
Not that it helps…
The oncology
waiting room – place to find those
worse off than yourself
Listen, do you want to know a secret?
You can never tell
everyone all about
everything now
Madness lies that way
It’s fortunate we
don’t know, at school, how our lives
will unfold and end
Introspection
After cancer your
once well-known body becomes
most mysterious
But who listens?
I talk to the trees,
kangaroos, birds, frogs, snakes, fish,
and sometimes myself
But you worry more
Having a cold when
you have cancer is same as
one without cancer
Achievement
Reaching another
birthday – in old age a goal,
not expectation
Too close for comfort
Manipulated
people can’t see it the way
those outside them can
But I would have been bored
Looking for fame I
should have settled on just one
career, not on five
