Shrink-Speak Notes

Sexually speaking you rate the maximum five stars
but as a human being...
if I took delivery of you in your present condition
I would have to return you as damaged goods
for a full refund
on account of your mind

Whatever they did to you has left its marks
and when I inspect your insides
I notice emotionally there's a mass of ugly scars
it's a jingly jangly jungle of exposed nerve endings in there
waiting to poison your path and everything you touch
with those tainted yet talented fingers
that you were blessed with

I don't know how long you've been stalked
by these dirty tigers of yours
that you say keep prowling around your head
or why they're always voraciously hungry
for more and more blood
It's not even important
knowing when your appetite for destruction began
but there's no future in ripping your clothes off
and spreading your legs
every time life throws you a curve

If you can't change
learn to jettison all that baggage
and stop yourself from becoming
the sum of your own bad habits
then I'm afraid evolution will kick in and do its job
and I'd rather not be an eyewitness

Self control is its own medication

My advice is
quit the recreational drugs
start eating properly
get to like juice
catch more sleep
along with plenty of regular normal exercise
and recognize that positives
start in your head
not outside of it

Then we can talk
about a cure
which I guess
must make me
even crazier than you are

I'll see you next week

I was drawn in by the Steve Miller Band song name that you used for your pen name...(Which is so cool!) Then I read the magic which flowed so effortlessly from your pen...Like magic! What a great piece of work you have here!!!

Thanks for your kind words and welcome to the site. It's a great thrill when I get a comment like that. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece - but I can assure you it wasn't effortless! I may do a part 2 on it soon.

failed marriages, and how, even though he considered both his wives incredibly attractive (which they were) their intense emotional baggage was just too much for him. Another poem which explores deep themes with a deft lightness of touch. Loved the line about tigers prowling the woman's head.

I see this as the first of a series of shrink poems which could even involve different subjects on the couch, Jack. Glad you enjoyed this one.
