It May be Better to Suffer in Silence

Having been beaten up for two days
In a row by these sadists who claim
To be physical therapists, I find I'm
Almost unable to walk. I went
To the doctor when I had a pain,
Which was minor and soon went away
On its own, but he sent me to suffer
Through four weeks of torture
(Possibly because I'd wasted his time?).
I've done so. I only have one session
Left, after which, I assure you, I'll choose
To stay home on the sofa and whimper,
For days, maybe weeks, before I seek
Professional care.
