The Shrink's OfficeA Poem by TopHatGirlSometimes your therapist is as mad as you are.
Tick, tock.
I impatiently watch the clock, tick, tock. Foot tapping, hands wringing. The door handle slowly turns, my heart beat quickens. A middle aged man, enters the room. "Hello, I'm Dr. LaRue, I'll be your therapist today." he says, I mutter a quick hello. "So, why are you here today?" he asks, I spit it out, the words spill, lips flapping. Rambling, yes, but what else to do? The doctor scribbles and writes, while I talk. After we're done, he looks at his notes. tsk, tsk. He mutters. Sweat drips down my forehead. "Something wrong?" I ask weakly. He looks up, as if he forgot I was there. "Oh, your diagnostic. Yes, why you're..." Mutant butterflies fight in my stomach. I gulp, fingers twitch. "I'm sorry to say, but you are insane." he said, and chuckled maniacally. I flinch back, sinking in my chair. Wondering, is my therapist as mad as I am? "Your crazy! Mad! Loco!" he says, giggling. I slowly inch away, until I'm out of the chair/bed completely. That's when I sprint toward the door. Turn the handle, past the clock. Run from there, past the surprised receptionist, the cranky kid, the patient mom, the bored patient, reading a magazine. Outside, onto the grass. Fall, collapse. The insane therapists laugh, echoes in my head. Maybe I am going crazy. © 2010 TopHatGirlAuthor's Note
