kidney transplant

there i times i feel as denied as a donated kidney
that is rejected by the recipient's body
like, i'm sorry this kidney is just not quite good enough

sometimes i feel like the donor
who gives as much as he can to someone
literally a piece of themself
but it's no good

occasionally i'm in the doctor's position
i CAN help
and i try
but despite my best efforts
it's not enough

at times i know i'm like the recipient
people try and assist me
give so much to try and make my life better
but i just push it right back
with no appreciation

BUT
my life also can be like the transplant that goes smoothly
cooperation
everything works out right
harmony
happiness
those are the good days
the successful operations
