The Keeper Of ‘MY' Gate!


…I opened a can of worms this day…

***And great bit snakes went free***

She stood at the gates of my future,
And led me straight to hell!
I didn't know it at the time though!  
But now I do, and it's time to tell!
I see you there that night you know!  
Stood at the side of my bed!
You spoke of the impending operation,
And this is what you said!
‘They will do this and that!  
But they won't remove that part!
That's because that's far too dangerous –
So this warning I have to impart!'
And that's how you sent me to hell!
Because you never told me why!
All I knew for certain was,
I needed this operation or I would die!

Have I got your attention?  Now read on!!

You stood over me that day,
Telling us this that would occur,
And every time I asked why it's dangerous –
You wouldn't tell me!  That's unfair!
You stood there so condescending!  
And spoke to me like I was a child!
Looking down your nose at me!  
Well that day lives with me all the while!
Because you wouldn't listen to what I said!  
You took it upon yourself to ignore…
You thought you knew the answers!  
As you stood at my future door!
The tunnel lay behind you!  
You were the keeper of the gate!
You led me straight into hell!
Your bombastic attitude sealed my fate!

I hate what you did to me!  
And for the past 15 months of hellfire!
It was ‘your' entire fault; it's at 'your' feet!  
Because you left my life in the mire!
You bombastic cow!!  That's what you are!
Dictating what you thought you knew!
You kept telling me it was dangerous,
To do to me what they had do!
I asked you over and over again…
What was the danger to me?
But you chose to ignore the question…
For no reason I could see!
Standing there so smugly!
Yes you, Mrs know-it all!
You wouldn't listen to me,
And that's caused me to take a fall!

For the last 15 months of my life,
I have walked the walk to hell!
And all because of you –
You caused pain and anguish, can you tell!!!!
Yes, there were more medical people,
Involved in this mess - that's true!
But that makes no bloody difference,
Cos this is all down to you!!!!!
You told me it was dangerous,
Over and over and over again!
I asked you constantly to tell me why,
But you ignored my pain!
Pain that could have been averted,
This shouldn't have happened to me!
This is down to negligence – and yes,
All down to you, and now I see…

…It gets worse…

…I see the ‘dangers' you told of,
Or rather, what you didn't tell!
The reason, wow, who knows?  
But you sent me straight to hell!!!
18 years past that surgery!  
But the past 15 months to me…!
Have been lived in fear, torture and pain!
A mess that shouldn't be!
But yes, a mess it is,
And you could have prevented it couldn't you!
But the fact of the matter is –
You failed to tell me true!
The ‘danger' that you told of –
Or rather, didn't tell!
Caused me so much anguish,
That you sent me on the road to hell!

The last 15 months of my life have been torture,
Every night and every day!
I have hardly slept a wink,
But now I need to have my say!
I haven't been able to move forward…
For 15 months, 15 months of hell!
And why, you want to know why?  
Then sit nice and I will tell!
Because of 18 years ago…
And the unanswered questions you wouldn't tell,
It has caused me 3 more operations,
So, yes, my life's been hell!!!
Not just operations either,
But life threatening procedures too!
You have no idea in playing God,
Just what you put me through!

And today, well, today…
Has been horrifically enlightening for me…
For today those questions were answered…
But certainly not by she!
Had she answered those questions!
It would have altered my fate,
But she didn't!  And now, 18 years later,
It is much too late!
15 months of torture, 15 months of nightmares,
Yes, 15 months of hell!
She caused all that, I jest you not,
With the answers she wouldn't tell!
Because you see, she knew the repercussions…
Of what that surgery would be…
But me, I didn't, did I…
Because she wouldn't explain to me!

Have I still got your attention? Then continue!

Hell you sent me! Hell I arrived!  
I've been in hell for 15 months long!
You made a mess of my life, YOU DID!!!  
And that was totally wrong!
No need for explanations now though,
I have my answers at last!
Maybe now I can work it through,
And put these nightmares in the past!
Your attitude was one of indifference,
But this I tell you true,
If I could ever find you –
God knows what I would do!
I walk the walk of hell,
Because you put me in a wheelchair!
But that's not the worst is it!
And you don't even care!

For something horrific happened to me –
And I can't explain what or why,
All I will say is this...
This day of truth made me sob and cry…
I shouldn't be in a wheelchair!  
I shouldn't have gone through hell!
And all because of a stupid fool,
Who refused me flatly to explain and tell!!!
So thank your lucky stars lady!  
That I don't know your name or address!
Cos be certain of one thing –
I'd make your life a bloody mess!!!!
I could sue you!  Make you suffer,
As you had me suffer so!
But I am better than that –
And here I am, trying to let it go!

I want her to feel my anger!  
I want her to feel my pain!
I want to turn the clock back!
And start it over again!

…But I can't can I…

***Because***

…The keeper of my gate…

***Left me in the dark***

….Walking the walk of hell…

And Why Is That? You Ask Ladies!

***I Shall Tell You***

…Because I Had No Hormones…
