Therapy



-Therapy

You're the reason for my anger
and the reason for my pain
You're the reason for the voices
                 screaming in my brain
You're the reason I'm so numb
and the reason I don't feel
You're the reason I can't tell
                  what is even real
You're the reason I don't breathe
and the reason I can't cry
You're the reason I don't care
                   if I live or die
You're the reason for my sorrow
and the reason why I bleed
You're the reason for my therapy
                    that I so badly need

                   Alfred Gremsly
