Best Treatment Poems

I'm sure this has happened to most of you
You come up with this brilliant thought
Before you have a chance to write it down
It vanishes like a shot

You try and try so hard to remember
This amazing new invention
But your mind's gone south for the summer
And has...

My insecurities, taunting me
With the s i l e n t treatment, enoughs
Stirring up doubt inside, where 
I hide all the loose ends, the frailties
Little uncertainties, haunting me

With the assumptions, the assurance
I’m not good enough, never
Good enough – wise enough,
Kind enough – bright enough

Never will...

Controversies have been circling ‘round my head
Regrets need to be let go – instead…
Dread gets in the way
Today isn’t so gray
There’s this deepness in your voice that I love most
It’s a thing that I won’t boast about – let’s have a toast 
Compassionate cleverness is...

Left a comment on her poetry site,
a rating good and criticism light;
other readers had messaged there,
most praiseworthy, which was fair;
and she answered, nearly them all,
but to my note she let silence fall;
why this treatment, I couldn’t tell,
at least some reply like “Go to hell.”

Is silence a blessing or is it a curse?
 It can be more powerful than hundred words.
 No sound but the feelings and emotions are burning, 
 the cruel cycle of hate and love turning.

I wake up early Monday morning
still cold and dark outside
eat my breakfast, take my pills
sit and wait for my ride,

arrive at the center
get comfortable in my chair
like I do 3 times a week
thankful t hat I'm there

I come to every treatment
I never show up late

Being in the mind of a savage.

All I know is how to act ferociously.
Manipulating the minds of the weak, fearful, and the victims.
Beating them into submissive.
Emasculating the strongest, just to see him break.
Dismiss him of his role, and never to see his family again.

Beware the tenderness of anyone’s toes
Especially that of your bevy of foes,
For pain, they say, is its own reward
And is magnified with additional woes.

Beware of the sharpest words spoken
For they offer little more than a token,
And will come back to haunt in time
When feelings of...
