Therapy

I come to you spilling my guts with the utmost caution Control when relinquished runs amok like ants from an anthill Crushed by a careless foot not to be regained without Religious attention to detail Every session is a chess match Strategy carefully considered by two minds juxtaposed Both fighting for the same sanity One carefully probing for chinks The other stoic in guise Carefully examining every sound Awaiting frontal attack Neither successfully touching the heart matter the blood source the brain connection Creating the life reflection For now there is no victor No resolutions Only small in-trails Of the past

wow, this is quite a write! What is it called in Chess: a stalemate then? I don't know chess lingo, but the metaphor is awesome.

Janet, it seems we never get listened to. Whether it be a therapist or a loved one. Great write. Well done. :O) Keep up with the great work. Keep on penning. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful and creative talents with us. We all truly appreciate it. *S* Cynthia

Came to really like this therapist. Anyone who can cry for you when you can't is someone who listens. Sadly she was killed shortly after. Beautiful lady.

Janet, this poem is one of the best I've read that addresses the angst that exists in far too many human relationships. You handle that subject with admirable skill, which is no small feat. Beautifully done . . . kudos.

Paul, Thank you for the comments on "Therapy" It's not ever an easy task, but this is one of my faves. It is an older write but new to this site.
