Standing tall and upright,
a symbol of confidence and poise
Making way at times
through flotsam of fears, crawling
Face practised to not betray
the goings-on of the mind
Hands always steady
even when a storm's riling within
Lessons on health and wellbeing
and ways to handle stress and life
Tips and tricks on self-care
spewed out as if a sermon
that has long lost any
context or meaning
There are days,
more than one'd believe or realise
when the clinician
on the other side of the equation
needs more help,
more urgently.
And yet is hesitant to admit,
as if one couldn't just switch sides
and keep on doctoring the suffering,
one patient at a time.
