A personal ad -
Woman seeking
doctor
With some compassion
and a heart…
Woman seeking
doctor
Who’ll see her
face, not just a chart…
Woman seeking
doctor
Who’ll show
respect and empathy…
Woman seeking
doctor
Who
understands equality.
So – you ask – who am I?
A woman with a
voice,
Who advocates
for those
Who don’t know
every choice.
I used to be a
patient,
A client on
the phone
Or standing
there in person
Feeling so
alone.
So – you ask – who am I,
Who seeks a doctor now?
A sufferer
turned recovered,
With sweat
upon her brow.
I morphed into
a blogger
Who helps make
words from tears,
I changed into
a leader
Who tries to
lessen fears.
Woman seeking
doctor
Who wants to
end the stigma…
Woman seeking
doctor
Who wants to solve
enigma…
Woman seeking
doctor
Who sees
mental health as vital…
Woman seeking
doctor
Who wants
more than just the title.
So – you ask – who am I
Who seeks a doctor now?
Recovered
woman leader,
Who took on a
new vow:
We need more
good among us
And so I heed
the call –
I went back to
school to be
A mental
health professional.
