An impending procedure looms
Results of which no one can assume

Nerves and butterflies with a dash of fear
Feeling helpless as the time grows near

I need peace of mind and a calm heart
Pleading with myself not to fall apart

Will it hurt or will I just hold back the tears
Will this all fade away or haunt me for years

I have no control and that's the worst feeling
The waiting and unknowing, praying for healing
