to my therapist

4 kids
and no sleep in 12 years
has it really been that long?
and therapy,
oh boy,
let's dont even go there

to the man who listens
to cries,
and whines,
and reads all
my stanza's and lines

saying.. you are so very talented,

even though I think you are an ass
a total test of my nerves at times,
I imagine I bring about
the same wretched indignation
when you want to put away the clipboard
and live amongst the sane,

but hey don't get me wrong,
I love you,
you for you,
and for kindness,
and peace,
offered between session
and cups of coffee,

while tear soaked tissues pile up,
and memories float
into conscious states

as long as your there,
to wipe away tears
and calm fears
to offer hope
when the world would just as soon
hand me a rope
and tell me to go hang myself
but not you

the therapist
the friend,
the father I wish I had,

hold tight to that,
when you face retirement
the one client,
who will never forget
the miracle you performed
when you brought words to silent lips
and made the world face secrets that had to long since
been dammed up

so here we are,
me the client,
you, the trained professional
facing crossroads of my future,

and just in case I forget to say it,

Thank you..
just thank you...

Please tell me what you think

    whos your therapist? i've never had one like this. they often hear but do not listen. many of them just think of their paycheck. i've finally found one hopefully that will help. hope you are finally sleeping now

    • Thank you.

      My therapsit is wonderful. We have worked together for a long time and developed a deep bond of trust.. he is so kind and compassionate. He is very often, a well of inspiration and hope. I wish the best in finding someone that comes anywhere near him..they are hard to find. But good luck.

    your words touch my heart i know myself what it is to hold secrets and the damage these secrets can do its hard for a partner to totaly understand when your nerves afraid what the next step in life is going to bring im only glad that theres places that you can go and unload without them judging you every body needs that hide out it feels sometimes like a walking time bomb a great write

    • Thank you. He is a wonderful therapist, and count him more as a friend..He has really helped me along this journey. And is awlays there when I fall.thanks again.
  • I'm glad that you have a therapist to help you with your issues. I do too and it helps tremendously. I hope that you are getting all of the help you need Thank you for allowing me to read your write.

    • Thanks for the hooowl. LOL
      I fixed the error, I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. He reads EVERYTHING I write, so nothing shocks him, : ) And he is always very supportive of my poetry.

      thanks again for the comment.
  • this was amazing and shows the good side of therapists :]
    great write!!
  • that was amazing

  • Amazing!!

    This is amazing. Most people forget to thank them for the job they provide us with. We are there to speak and even tho sometimes we become frustrated, so do they. But they don't just send us packing like most people in society will. I dream of being a social worker one day and they deal a lot with things of this nature. I am good at counseling people at my young age, which really surprises many. But I can tolerate a lot of what most people wont.

    This is a great poem.
    Thank you for sharing this with me.
    It is lovely.
    Have a great day.
    God Bless.

  • Wow...

    This is amazing! x I have a therapist too apart from I feel somewhat 'too close' to mine. Maybe because she's the only person I ever opened up to - I don't know. I can understand you writing this though, it's a brill write. You can look at mine if you want to... anyway, well done, ((Rach)) x

  • really good, but should the word "assume" be "as soon"?
    just wondering.....

    oh my gosh. that gave me shivers ( not in a bad way) but good shivers if that makes any sense. basically if something touches me really loads i have a shiverry feeling and i got it there. that was so simple and the words were so beautifully put together. im having councelling soon and im really nervous and this sorta reassures me. i just loved it. you word things so well. it all sounds so amazing.sorry im rambling but i cant really describe how much i loved it . wow.

  • amazing.

    amazing.
    i've been through much

    this poem has inspired me
    to stay strong.
    you lasted this long, surely i can too.
