The other side of the coin
Most counsellors will tell you,
That its is all about you,
And how it is up to you,
To do everything for you,
To treat you,
And find ways to move forward to a better space,
for the sake of you.
70 years life experience among others,
Who think of others,
Do things because of others,
Do things for others,
Do things with others,
Value others,
Value their mothers,
Or Fathers,
Or even children from others,
Because they have been mentored by others,
Because they see pleasing some others,
Who see you as one of the others,
Who see the real you, in need of others
Or have saved you from one or more not nice others,
As a way to bring out the best version of you.
A you who has always pleased themselves,
Will never see themselves,
As needing others,
Until they find a version of themselves,
Talking to a counsellor about themselves,
Because they have been left behind by others.
A super confident you,
Sees others in the same boat as you,
Others who have been shown both sides of the coin,
To know how best to join in,
Given the you, that was born in,
To a world that is confusing day out and day in.
