All I've Endured

trouble with coping

I feel like i'm always preparing myself for the worst

Fight or flight

How could I choose between the two?

How dare I stare at a wall?

I might even talk to it

Let me take a minute or so

to gloat about the coat i've worn

to protect me from the rain all these years

I'll take some time to reflect on all the wine

And all the people I refused to call

When it comes down to it, would you like to sit

and listen to all i've endured

That's what my therapist is for

I hate to dismiss what you've been dealing with

All I can see is what is mine

It's selfish, I admit that I let you sit

and listen to all i've endured 

Author's Note

let me know what you think :)

Yours are honest words, you know yourself and are true to you own goodness. It's those who won't or can't admit to problems who make them worse. You, Rose, know you need a touch of inspiration from a person -a qualified therapist and God willing, a humane human being, who cn help find your YOU. The YOU. a unique young woman with a great nd happy life ahead. Love yourself humbly but be just a hint selfish once in a while!
