Tests aren't just letters and numbers on forms; they're a reflection of our inner world, an attempt to peer inside ourselves and assess our state. Sometimes it's routine, sometimes it's the anticipation of a verdict that affects our plans and mood. In these poems, I've tried to convey the various facets of this experience: from mild anxiety to philosophical acceptance of the inevitable. Let them become a quiet accompaniment to your trips to the lab or simply a source of reflection.

Morning ritual
Waking up early, in the quiet of the apartment, I think about the next day. And in my thoughts only dotted lines wander, And a vague fear whispers within me. The doctor's table, a cool surface, And the smell of alcohol, like a winter dream. In a glass container – fidelity to life, And the expectation that there will be no groaning.
Blood on the glass
A drop of blood on white glass, a microcosm of life hidden beneath the skin. It holds the secret of health, and pain, and doubly so, hope for the best, quiet and stern. The doctor watches intently, reflecting the light, searching for deviations, shadows of doubt. And I freeze, awaiting my fate, captivated by these strange, scientific visions. And suddenly it seems that this tiny drop contains the entire world, both joy and sadness. And time stands still, as if in a hall where the truth cannot be hidden or deceived.
Cold sweat of anticipation
Silence in the hospital corridor, Only the echo of footsteps and a muffled cough. My soul is filled with anxiety and guilt, And an immense fear of the future. I await the result, like a judge's verdict, And my fingers involuntarily clench into fists. Everything seems complex, as if in a network, And thoughts falter, like enemies. And behind the door – science, coldness and calculation, And numbers that can change everything. And my every breath, like a secret flight, In the hope that he will live after all. And finally, the doctor calls me, With paper in hand, with an expression on his face... And in that moment, as if on fire, I encounter the endless truth.
Soul Reactants
Like a chemical flask, life boils, complex reactions, ups and downs. And each analysis is like a strict verdict, about secret processes, about every moment. We seek answers in test tubes and forms, to questions that have tormented us since time immemorial. And we believe that knowledge is power in the hands, and that healing is possible, without shackles. But sometimes the truth is cruel, and destroys hopes like a house of cards. And in the heart there remains only pain and melancholy, and a quiet question: what to do next? And yet we believe in science and miracles, in the possibility of conquering illness and fear. And we wait for everything to become clear and populated, and for life to run along its own paths.
White sheet
A blank sheet of paper, like a clean canvas, awaits life to emerge. It holds hope and growth, and the echo of long-lost whims. Analysis is just a starting point, the beginning of the journey to health and light. And while it may be cruel at times, it gives faith in victory.
Awaiting the verdict
Outside, the rain is falling, monotonous and gray, And in my heart, anxiety is like a bird in a snare. I await the result, like a messenger of faith, And hide my doubts in dark corners. The doctor's office, the smell of medicine and sterility, And the quiet hum of equipment in the distance. Everything seems important, like a symbol of omnipotence, And I'm afraid of what might happen, understand. I think about my loved ones, about plans for the future, And I believe that everything will work out, everything will be fine. But deep down, like a shadow, there is a feeling That life can change, like in a movie. And then finally the doctor enters with a smile, And says the words my ears have been waiting for. And in that moment, as if dust has been brushed off, Anxiety disappears, and the spirit returns.
Numbers and shadows
The numbers on the form are like signs of fate, Hidden meanings that need to be understood. They reflect life, struggle, And a chance for health, to keep breathing. The doctor explains that everything is normal, for now, But you need to monitor and take care of yourself. And a quiet line is born in the heart, About how life is a precious land. We often forget about our bodies, Overwhelmed with thoughts, plans, and deeds. But the analysis will remind you of what is important, About the fragility of life, about eternal gifts. And even if the numbers are sometimes out of tune, And cause fear and anxiety in the soul, Remember that you are not just a result, But a person capable of happiness in general.
Transparent world
My joy has frozen in a test tube, a transparent world hidden beneath my skin. It holds the secret of health, like a reward, and the fear that gnaws, worries, and gives birth. The doctor watches closely, reflecting the light, searching for deviations, shadows of doubt. And I freeze, awaiting my fate, captivated by these strange, scientific visions.
Laboratory sleep
A laboratory dream, quiet and white, a mixture of smells, light, and strict machines. In it, time slows its clumsy passage, and thoughts flow like a transparent stream. I see test tubes, flasks, and forms, and numbers dancing in the doctor's eyes. And I feel fear, as in a distant fog, and faith in hope that there will be a ray. Or maybe all this is just a figment of the imagination, and there is no truth within these walls? But I continue to seek inspiration, in the hope that everything will work out, without trouble. And now, finally, the dream dissipates into dust, and I wake up in the real world. And I know that I must take care of myself for centuries, and believe in health, as in a miracle in the ether.
The quiet whisper of pipettes
The quiet whisper of pipettes in the silence, As if retelling life's secrets. In every drop lies hope and doubly fear, hidden deep in the soul. The doctor conjures over the samples like a magician, And seeks answers in molecules and cells. And I freeze, as if an enemy, Captive to these strange, scientific marks.
Waiting for a diagnosis
In the hospital corridor, time stands still, My gaze fixed on the white walls. Waiting for a diagnosis is like torture, And my heart pounds as if in captivity. I think about the past, about the future, About loved ones, about friends, about love. And I believe that everything will be different, That life will give me new days. But fear won't let go, it whispers to me, About what might happen, what will happen. And I close my eyes so as not to see, What I'm so afraid of, what gnaws and torments. And finally, the doctor calls me, With paper in hand, with an expression on his face... And in that moment, like a cast shadow, I meet the endless truth.
Hidden Map
Analysis is like a hidden map of the body, where every point is a crucial node. It holds the secret of health, as if it has led us into the world of microbes that gnaw at our lives. The doctor deciphers signs and codes, and seeks the causes of illnesses and woes. And I freeze, as if the years were rushing past like a swift dawn.
Chemical landscape
A chemical landscape seethes in the test tube, a mixture of reagents, colors, and shades. It holds the secret of health, like a mirage, and a gnawing, disturbing, and filmy fear. The doctor watches the reaction closely, searching for answers in molecules and cells. And I freeze, as if by accident, captivated by these strange, scientific markers. And it suddenly seems that this strange landscape contains all of life, both joy and sadness. And time stands still, as if in a fog, where the truth cannot be hidden or deceived. And finally, the doctor delivers his verdict, and speaks the words my ears have been waiting for. And in that moment, as if dust has been brushed off, anxiety disappears, and the spirit returns.
White noise laboratory
The white noise of the laboratory, quiet and even, a mixture of sounds that create a special silence. It holds the secret of health, as if love, a whisper that will ignite hope in the heart. I await the result, like a messenger of light, and believe that everything will be fine, as always. But deep down, like a shadow, there is a sign that life can change, like water.
