The Wonderfully Dysfunctional Death of Psychoanalysis

...a goofy poem

I sought help caught between

every "ism" cruel and mean,

expert's smirk owned I could be

amongst the well, (grammatically?)  

I have had degree's most deep

diagnoses you can keep,

they don't cover half my ass-

"Are you hostile?"

"No, I'm crass."  

My neuroses take up space,

I could see beneath her face,

tidy office, framed Monet,

water fall, so what I say

won't be heard by those who wait

for their turn to hesitate,

fear withholding what they feel

til the urge comes to reveal-  

but her scribbling tick goes tock,

four eyes fastened on the clock.

How much does truth cost to speak?

Listening's extra, come next week.  

Smug and satisfied, her smile,

as you walk a fucking mile,

more alone than at the start,

thinking you're the rotten part.  

But have hope! Growth and change;

true recovery's within range;

save your money, buy a gun,

kill them doctors one by one.  

Inhibition shrinks the quest,

execute what they know best,

do not analyze their brains,

send a bullet to explain

how projected boundary's sloth

let repression's leash fall off.

Tuck a bill betwixt their toes,

write: your sanity sure blows.

Ummmmm, it's a joke- as in, lighthearted, funny, goofy. Save your skewer, please. Thank you, C

I'd like to direct all skewer-bearing writers to the bin full of marshmellows and the fire around my old poetry. toast away if you must skewer, skewer marschmelons.

rws, what's with your dickish comments lately? i just read one you left on "how to become less popular quick" and this one. oh such subtle rage, for no apparent reason. 

freud would have a field day with you, c. he'd probably think you were a hysterical woman (which is totally redudant, all woman are totally hysterical and silly and crazy, RIGHT? riiight.) and he'd try to wack you off. masturbation therapy.. wait, i think that was someone else. i think freud was all "masturbation and sex are BAD but everyone just does it anyway which is why they are so neurotic and crazyyy". i dont know wtf i'm talking about.

the title is epic, btw.
