This is for you the ones who patronize
The ones who blame illness on an impossible guise
The ill who are weary and are seeking out care
You know who you are and you are truly not there
When a patient is broken and too tired to speak
When inside they are dying and they are too weak
When they show up at your office for the last inkling of hope
When your very words or your actions might destroy how one copes
If nothing is done, or excuses are made
If you brush them, aside or a junk diagnosis is played
When you treat them like they are ignorant
When you take the last shred of dignity away
Too bad you couldn't feel what they are going through
For the course of one single day!

If I wanted to blame, to shout with rage at the injustice of the *ssh*l*'s smirking silence,
if I had to put up with one inkling of sure knowledge of his disdain, felt like a whip on my psyche,
if I had to be caught up again, mired mercilessly in the muck of my gratifying, sensuous, sour and angry and incompetent, absolutlely ridiculously masochistic Love I felt for my therapist,
Dear Man,
Dear Soul,
Sear Soul, searing my soul, taking the life out of every gesture I ever made ....
I would rage like you have never seen,
but there is no point,
for the smirking laughter continues, on and on and on and on.I love you.

Susan, the pain and anguish sometimes resulting... and even the true
unconditional trust we have put in our therapists, or physicians, etc can truly be life altering. Our feelings so caught up in things we can sometimes not even completely make sense of.
When we are so weak, we are so impressionable in our lives in so many ways and all I can say is...Namaste and Peace
