Shrink Satire

Teddy.15

 

My friend visited a therapist

because she had

the overwhelming urge to kill herself

 

every day for six months

she walked in willing just to talk

every week, same day same hour

finally

the shrink said

“you’re cured”

 

he presented his bill

and my friend killed herself.

    The bill will do that. They do say that death is the ultimate cure. A fun read my friend, made me smile even though a bit grim

          Teddy, this speaks to something that has always unsettled me...the gap that can exist between outward measures of success and what is actually happening inside a person. The poem takes that idea and drives it home with ruthless efficiency. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            Shrinks cost too much! lol I really need one right now but are above my limits!!! It's therapy making fun of them instead. 🌹
