I feel fine today, I really can't complain
I have no wounds but scars and I get
plenty of sleep
so when I see this sterile lobby and hear that
classical music and glance at those "New Yorker"s
I must flee
despite your fee
Nothing heavy is taxing me, no thank you
for your therapy
you'll get your check but words have no effect
on me
I've cried into pillows years ago, mascara
staining my eyes and I've blown my nose
but nowadays no tears and no remorse
No abuse disturbs my peace, no delusions
make me pace
in truth my soul is a clear and rippleless lake
so I don't need to spend an hour on your
cuddly couch
no vexations or anxieties need trickle from
my mouth
I intend to stay away and furthermore keep out
of psychoanalysis and the stirrings of
grave doubt
In short I'm feeling sane today and really
can't complain today
I'll let you know if someday bats invade
my belfry
but until then, don't expect me in
I have nothing to say, you redoubtable shrink

OK Then, I loved it! No therapy for me today, a dirty martini, extra dirty, works better and costs a lot less! You are quite unique and I look forward to more of your odd humor...ODD is good, and it's better than even any day........

Lovely. I like the stout refusal to go to therapy for therapy's sake: "you'll get your check but words have no effect on me".
I think it's important to have a sense of humour in poetry...not in every poem, that would just be silly...but too many people think poetry should be this really serious, grave thing. What I liked about this was that it took something most people perceive as a grave, serious subject and subverted it so that it was gently disparaged.
Wonderful. -
*laughs* Superb, lady sock. Twas a light hearted romp.
All you needed was a pole, some bait and a 'Gone Fishing' sign.
Well done as always. Now meet my friends, the three Applause Brothers.

Hahhaa. I'm going to have to show this to my boyfriend. He'll love it. But seriously, I think it's always great when we begin to embrace our hurtful past; only then will we begin to heal. I'm trying to be like this everyday. I just keep trying to obtain that inner peace. It's always refreshing to see someone that has been able to do so.

This poem greatly reminds me of a soung by Motion City Soundtrack... I believe the title is "Alright" or something close to that.
Very well written, I know that I have never wanted to go to therapy no matter how many times people insist I should, how could it help?
Again, very well written. I love it!
