Forced Entry
by Laura K. Patterson

A wide-lens peephole bore through the entry door
does no good to guard against your intrusion.
You stand, a shadow, slim, unnoticed
that somehow finds its way to my doorstep.
No guards or neighbors deter your approach.
No security system sounds.
Police don't respond.
The deadbolt gives.
You force the door open
against my weary pushback.
A crease of blinding light
assaults my sight,
hypnotizes my being
like an assailant
no one wants
to hear about,
know about.
Again.
So intimate,
your vulgar attack.
You could leave me
alone.
Too.
But you refuse.

Living Well With Migraine Disease & Headaches continues to be a top listed title in bookstores and online booksellers. For a description on the book or an Amazon link, click HERE. To read an excerpt from my book or other content, check our Supplemental Content Section.

Remember:

Optimal health care can be achieved
only when patients are educated
about their health and patients and
physicians work together as
treatment partners in an
atmosphere of mutual respect.
