I'm Afraid Of Needles


I'm Afraid Of Needles

© by Bud Lemire on Sept 20, 2018




I'm afraid of needles, I look the other way

Wishing it was over and done, and it was yesterday

They need to take some blood, I hope they get it right

Jabbing me more than once, gives me such a fright



At first, it's just a little prick

I start a conversation, and it does the trick

Before you know it, a cotton swab is in place

You can see relief, written all over my face



I'm not the only one, who fears needles like I do

There are many of us, and I know this is true

I know, for sure, that it's all in our head

Calming words can help us, with what's being said



Distractions, keeps our mind from fear

Soothing are the words, that we always hear

Thoughts that are positive, help us make it through

These are things, that may work for you



Life can bring us many things, that can bring on fear

Some cause us so much, they bring on a tear

But if we believe, that everything will be okay

Positive thoughts, will bring us to a better day





Yes, it's true I do have a fear of needles. But I have

learned to think positive, and it does help. I have

heard of others who I would never believed, that

are afraid of them. That is why many do not go to

the Doctor unless they really need to. I can understand

their fear. But I have found ways around it. Let your

mind wander, positive thoughts, distractions, because it

is over real quick. Then you will wonder, why did you

waste time worrying about it.
