Death Series 1
Death by Snafu
Say something
If not a sentence
At least a few words
Don’t just nod your head
Both ways
Postponing things
It could be a yea or a nay
Though
That would be something
Mean a lot
Clear the sky
When you say it
Give me a thread
If not a rope
To save myself
From drowning
In the depths of despair
Where questions after question
Keep rising
Over my head
Seeking to drown
Suffocate me
To death

It’s important to discuss and clear the air of misunderstanding or normal conversation. Good communication is important. Hope rightly interpreted the poem.
Yes.
But this poem is not about me. As a doctor I get to meet a lot of people with their unique set of problems.
This poem is about one such situation someone was in.
Another thing is that, such issues are difficult to deal with. Communication is the key. But it has to be a 2 way honest communication. Sometimes the honesty itself complicates the issue at hand. And hiding complicates it even more.
There are no straightforward answers nor any set protocols to handle these situation. Each situation is unique with its own unique way of diffusing it.
Each one has to go by their gut instincts and common sense. And talking about common sense, it abandons the person, exactly in such times.
