Recuperating
/"Recuperating" is a poem showing the frustration one gets while waiting to get better.
————
Counting down the days
waiting for a clean bill of health,
hoping to get back
to her normal routine.
She’s tired of stretching out on her back,
plumping her pillows,
keeping her foot wrapped
with an ice pack.
She’s catching up
with a movie or two,
but there’s only so much
she’s willing to do.
She’s getting impatient,
enough is enough,
she tears up the calendar
and climbs over the wall,
hoping she doesn’t fall.
