Off again
To sit in a room
And talk to a lady
That I’ve never met before
And pretend it’s helping
Off again
To stare out the window
And wait for her to start conversation
Pretending that
I have nothing I need to talk about
But
I don’t want to talk to her
I would rather talk to
My mom
Or a friend
Anyone
But her
I’m told
“You just need to warm up to her!”
Maybe...
But really
All I need
Is to be with my mom
My friends
And let that
Be my therapy
I have to go to a therapist once a week now, and all we do is make awkward small talk. I’m not telling her anything. She’s really annoying.
