It’s my night to meet with Liz To tell her “bout my private biz She mulls it over then tells me how it really is You see it’s her job To listen to me cry and sob Imagine that… She gets paid to listen to me Most therapists say: “Having a little anxiety attack? "How about some nice Prozac” Or Can’t sleep, feeling lost and alone? “How about some nice Trazodone” Or “Manic Depressive? Feel like a *** How about some nice Lithium” Not Liz… She gives appropriate drugs Better yet she gives big hugs Encourages me my thoughts to share Teaches me to live again if I dare To break free from loss and pain Knowing from the truth I might gain More free time For both of us On Wednesdays at six
