shadows that blight
the shadows
that blight
the moonlit night
leave no wake
yet
carve a track
which is only
visible
to
the gifted.
the little girl's screams
no one believed
then
and no one believes
now.
if only they did
the old junkie
the family pup
the cute little kitten
the lonely old neighbour
would
still be around.
psychiatrists
psychologists
psychoanalysts
don't know shit
when it comes
to the gifted.
if only
they did.

I could say in different words that which has already been conveyed above, but it would be redundant.
I will add this though, The reason outlined in the poem is but one and I do agree with the "Don't know shit" analogy, for many I have had the displeasure of talking to, need one themselves. But, some minds were broken even before a trauma occurred and no amount of help will fix them. Hence, "You can't fix everyone. The best you can hope for, is not to be standing next to them when they go off" Dennis Miller.
Insightful is the write
Thoughtful is the sentiment
Well done is the overall view.

struck a chord there- some minds broken even before the occurrence of trauma.
invaluable, is the quote of Dennis Miller.
no disagreements re some of the so called professionals/experts.
the sentiment was based on experience, life.
welcome is the peer
and the keen insight
alongside the visit
of a Friend.
