Therapy.

Why not?

What's wrong with therapy?

It's not like it's bad
It's helped a lot of people.
Some people go to marriage counselors
Some people seek therapy to deal with problems
And it's better that they do.
Consider all the things that happen if they don't.
So again I ask, what's wrong with therapy?

Firstly, you ask yourself
"Well why do I need it?"
And if you actually find an answer
(or if someone tells you one)
You move to the next step.

Do I need therapy?
No.
I don't need anything except water, air and nourishment.
And that's only to function.
I don't need it
but I am considering it.

But why?
Is there something wrong with me?
Not particularly
Not that I'm aware of
Then, why?
Because I think I need it.

These are the questions I have been asking myself
And these are the answers that I have given.
Therapy is seen as an objective, sometimes professional view
on your situations in life
or whatever it is that you choose to discuss.

I suppose like anyone else
I have my misgivings
I mean
It's still for "crazy people" right?
Isn't that what we all think?

Except of course the people that have actually been.

I have been to therapy once
It was a while ago
My mother thought I should meet one.
Probably because I was acting out or something
I don't really recall.

What happened, you ask?
Well, my therapist had some choice words with my mother
(and yes, he was totally on my side)
And we didn't go back.

I always wondered about that
I never asked her though
Maybe someday I will.

I do feel sad about it.
I feel like it's admitting a weakness
partially
which in turn
hurts my pride.

But y'know
my pride gets hurt a lot
for one reason or another
and its usually my fault.

I am just human
You're just human
we're all just people
and we all just want to be understood.


...and we're all looking for answers.
