What I saw

I saw her
waiting for the doctor
she didn't abided
but ironically endured

She had raven hair
framing her face
like spartan helmet
but with a ponytail
and red flower

She had something
stuck behind her ear
no THROUGH her ear
a long metal prong
bejeweled
piercing through the top

She wore suspenders
red and thin
and a t shirt
from a bloody bad film
and sensible boots

She got on with nurses aids
who wore pastel scrubs
adorned with adorable puppies
You would never guess
For all that
you'd have to look
to see this tough looking lady
was a scared girl
