NaPoWriMo day four. This poem is inspired by the Read Write Poem prompt Inside Out.
For two years I sat on that couch
At times spread my body out across it
I learned all about $30 co-pays
And billing the rest to the insurance company
I learned all about defense mechanisms
And survival mode
I learned all about feelings
And what makes me tick
What I didn’t learn
Was a better way to fix it
So I went back to my old form of therapy
The one that worked from the outside in

ReplyDeleteLiked this! Sometimes the outside in works better in this case.
ReplyDeleteI want to know more: what is 'the one that worked from the outside in'?
