So now you’re on the brink of reaching out
To someone who might help your mental health,
And yet you’re overcome by waves of doubt
And grieve the likely loss of untold wealth.
You’d rather have effected on your own
A bridge from here to where you want to be –
A happy place where you can live alone
And lead a life that’s straight and fancy-free.
And yet you’ve felt this pain that’s bright and dull
And tried to dampen it your whole life through.
Although the answer’s somewhere in your skull,
It’s out of reach, especially to you.
And so you recognise you have no choice
But listen to a doctor’s soothing voice.
