Therapy

I sit in a room with a stranger
She whispers tell me about your life
Talk always talk more
Too many years and silence feels natural

I wait for the next question
Do I ever feel angry
Am I angry at my father
I tell her I see him in his casket
I tell her that I thought he would wake up
Can she tell me how to fix this

Back to the place in this chair in this room
Feel comfortable she tells me
I have been quiet for ten years
What can she do for me

I wait for the next question
Do I ever feel guilty
am I guilty for not finding him sooner
I tell her I fought with him
I tell her I can not remember the last words
Can she tell me how to change this

Back to the place in this chair
She sits across from me
I uncross my legs and then cross them again
This is all confidential she ensures me
Ten years I tell her it has always been a secret

In this room with a stranger
I whisper tell me about my life
