HAH! This place Allows me to mail No social media I negotiated this morning Told them how unhappy I am if I can't write That I need to be able to reach my blog for it and PoetrySoup HAH! So they negotiated with me: 1) I speak in group sessions (oh yuck, I stutter) 2) They can see what poems I write (oh, yeah, why not!) 3) I do not sneakily start Facebook or Messenger (I won't, I promise) 4) I'll not leave my wheelchair unguarded, so the kiddies downstairs race with it (I promise I chain it) HAH! Psych time was fun time And it was too cold for the beach this morning Instead my psychiatrist wheeled me to a cafeteria and we did our negotiations on paper there today, with Espresso and apple pie to seal the deal. DONE Meaning, I will be here for a while longer, but I can write poetry again and hang around here on Soup. Ain't that just wonderful?

Oh, they had to smile :) And because it was an excerpt of what we had discussed, they couldn't say I wasn't telling the truth <3
