Taught to Ignore His Feelings
he was taught to ignore his feelings
they are not important
you will be weak if you show them
keep them to yourself
nobody cares
the therapist was overwhelmed
her job is to get clients on a feeling level
his resistance was resolute
in ten sessions he had not slipped once
not smiled, not laughed, not demonstrated any humanity
nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody cares, going through his mind
He spent his life feeling alone and unappreciated
died young and alone
caused by the stress of knowing
that nobody cared
and his feelings were not important
