Depression and Therapy

I don’t need that slip of paper.

Or even an email.

They always remind me anyway.

When I leave the session, I feel empowered.

Until I make my way to the front desk.

And they demand my schedule.

And they judge my schedule.

We agree on 1:00 Wednesday.

Walking outside, 

I feel like walking outside for once.

But the car is waiting, and my house is waiting.

I could go out again.

Anytime I want to.

But I just won’t.

Until 1:00 on Wednesday.
