Therapy Room

Blue boreal, I've been bleeding blue moon
Motion capture, been replaying each move
Hunting whispers, by the therapy room

My mom babbles fables to my therapist,
Weaving fictional tales, my palm is now a fist
I'm the villain, she's the victim, damn such a narcissist!

When I sit across the doctor, I see the sketches,
Made by children with cognitive indifferences,
Yet I complain rather than taking their influences

Who am I to cry when a child's mother's a child?
Should I really whine when my depression's only mild?
Lost in a jungle of jugglers,who dream wild

My blood is flowing fine yet my skin and bone burn,
I'm well abled human, still on bed, I sickly curl,
A lamp, illuminating light to all, but inside's dull

I speak my mind in therapy, but the trauma reignites,
Stripping off band aids, from a healed wound, I cry!
Some words are unsaid, left alone to die

Awkward silence fills the room when I breakdown,
My therapist hums formally, when I blurt like a clown,
Anxiety's like, I'm already in water, yet I can't drown

Poet's note -

This poem is submitted for a monthly contest where the theme was "emotional numbness" and I quickly thought about my therapy process which is numbingly painful.
