ALTERNATING PERSPECTIVES.( stoma)
Sometimes my mind is in a state
where thoughts and concepts oscillate
between things I appreciate
to those things I. abominate.
One such scenario in life
creates some likes at odds with strife
must be the stoma that I’ve got
that causes conflict quite a lot.
Most of the time I value it
for helping me to manage shit
and cease the pain I had endured,
which, seemed the stoma had it cured.
I don’t know how I would now cope
or if I might run out of hope
with both my pooh and with my pee
without a stoma helping me
There is no doubt within my mind
that my stoma seemed the kind
of attribute that in my state
I’d find it very hard to hate.
Yet, notwithstanding its appeal,
the stoma’s there and it is real,
and sometimes it won’t work too well
so, covers me with crap and smell.
It’s hard to like my stoma’s scent
when it’s made up from excrement
and at those times the way I think
is influenced by how I stink.
My thoughts swing from the positives
to dwell upon the negatives
each time the smell of effluence
undermines my confidence.
