Short Counseling Poems

They started 
Selling 
Their blood 
Now their 
Own brain 
To make money...

Oh, Temperance, 

How many evils, would we have avoided, 

Had 

Earlier, your wise counseling 

Heard!

If you want to stop smoking, you should seek counseling from me.
I have a lot of experience in that category.
Not smoking is sort of a hobby of mine.
I'm an expert on the subject. I've stopped at least a million times....

I was brought up in 
shadows

parents vacant

a ghostly father
mostly heard

Mom said: “later”

pain & confusion was my legacy
Living broken was my creed

spending life times in counseling 
just longing to find Jephetto

the one that fixes broken toys…

miraculously found in Christ...

Well up at 3 this morning couldn’t shut the eyes anymore. 
Finally hit the road before 6. 
Took a drive 
up not knowing where to go   
Mind blank, mind filled 
Wrote this while driving. 
Insanely my thoughts  crave my attention at untimely times.  
My poem is mine now 
Maybe someday I’ll post it here
This isn’t it...

I’ve been to counseling.
Uni-life can be stressful, it's a 'judgy' environment.
We're under constant evaluation.
So, there’s free counseling.

Have you ever been to counseling, dear reader?
What I love about counseling is that someone has to sit and listen to MY issues..

Wait, doesn’t that sound a lot like poetry!?

Every day I have
Looked for you
To come and see me,
Tell me if
I am no longer of use.

Can we go
For an HIV
Test and counseling
Together?

Why?

We need to do
Something together,
We never have,
Especially what I want,
It’s just one of those
Important things in life
For me and you,
What do you say?

Financial difficulty
Overextended credit
Reach out for assistance
Employment hardships
Counseling is free to all
Let us help you avoid a foreclosure
Our knowledge is extensive
Successful alternatives are available
Under water homes can be short sales
Reinstatement, Modification, Forbearance
Every foreclosure is an opportunity for a new beginning!...

I need counseling and you are a therapist.
I need support and you hold me up.
I need acceptance and you are non-judgmental.
I need love and you give more than I ask for.
I need to talk and you are a good listener.
I need to listen and you always know what to say.
I need to be quiet and you hold my hand.
I need you and you are there for me.

This is what I mean by everything....

Jacque Fresco was a man who truly never liked being thanked for anything.
He changed so many lives for the better just from his counseling,
and most would thank him endlessly with tears of appreciation,
but he would always respond in all sincerity to all of them.
"Please do not thank me," he would say with the sincerest of truthfulness,
"Please just go out there and help somebody else."...

We prefer putting blame on pastor-counseler
For secretly meeting her without him
He, not suspecting, divide & rule strategem

She later explained, I gave Dean my side
In case you blamed me for our "fall"
It was indeed love (of this world) after all

Best way forward, Dear Heart, seek His Will
Our free will always is our freedom, personality
LORD God never canceled The Commandments Ten...

If he were in high school
they’d call him a bully
and take him to 

the principal’s office
for counseling. 
But he’s an adult

who believes life 
should be the way 
he says it should be. 

When you run into him
at the coffee shop 
he’s quick to tell you  

why you’re wrong.
You listen to him 
and politely say

that may be so
but you don’t know
and quietly walk away

Would twelve thirty work?
Sure, I say. What day?
She gives me a sideways glance. “Today?”
“Sure,” I agree. ” Why not?”
A glimmer of surprise flits across her eyes.
She is pretty inflexible, so she does not understand me.
She did not understand why she had to have counseling classes either.
But this is my second year at this school.
Now she knows I am a thirty-minute break, and she appreciates me.
She thanks me profusely....

Today in my role as elementary school counselor
I am allowing the third graders all kinds of freedoms
It is easier than me teaching a counseling lesson
I hope the principal does not choose today to evaluate me
I am giving myself a break after taking two sick days
Slowly oozing myself into my role
Children are delighted
They are given eight choices
Any computer program approved by their teacher
I am their hero
All is well
Unless my supervisor steps in...

Repetitive thoughts drive
Ratifies depression
Rationalism leaves
Randomly they pop up
Return constantly~haunt
Rented a room in brain  
Rage incessantly-trapped   


A person who is depressed can't help this something hijacks part of the brain and makes it hang up in this negative state. Something is needed to throw a wedge in there to stop the constant repetitiveness. Meds can help, counseling, change of habits, good nutrition, etc....

hopeless,

loveless,

thoughtless,

completely lost.

I don't know why this happens. 

I don't get hit.

I don't get beat.

I get yelled at,

put down,

called names,

threatened.

Is this abuse?

I'm fourteen struggling through life.

My parents obviously hate me.

My friends are two-faced.

There is no where left to go.

Counseling? 

Crying?

Throwing up?

Yelling?

Yeah...

I'm lost in this dark world with no one on my side....

Words as empty as the hourglass shatters
Lay scattered across their bedroom floor
Hearts drained of anything that matters
Crumbled as fine as particles of sand
Promises gone forevermore
Left no reason for either to demand
They pursue counseling if they dare
No one cared enough to try anymore
Time left nothing for them to share
Love watched them walk out the door

My gardening is in man
Growing relationships is the bomb
Betting on people
Placing my brain in the garden
Growing strength in man
Bridging oceans and sculpting statues
Counseling and praying
My garden is growing.

Preaching and teaching along the rows
Planting men and seeing them grow
Feeding the body and watering the plants
Clothing the flowers and harvesting the crops
Stringing the beans and tilling the soil
Sunday school teaching and mentoring people
My garden is growing....

The feet do not lie
They told us in my first counseling class
I wrote it down
Circled it several times
Drew a couple of flowers and 
Some stars around it.

Stared at this advice for days.
Tried to understand what it meant.
What it could do for me.
How do you read foot?

It popped up in the morning sometimes
As my first thought upon waking.
What did it mean?
How could it help me?
What could I do with this vast nugget of knowledge?

Here is the problem.
I do not speak “feet”....
