Therapeutically Yours

 
I transfer
the sense
and the nonsense inside my head
onto the page
All the crazy tribulation
of heartache
laughter
and tears
A lifetime of setbacks
losses and gains
my table of thought
stark bollock naked
for the world to see
But it doesn't mean
I give myself away
and though some might imagine
that must be the case
my readers never
own all of me
There's a secret place
I always kept hidden
never spoken of
shared
or visited in words
until now that is
when I finally figured
how becoming a man
cost one small boy
his measure of freedom
and a fortune
in broken dreams
