The therapist (revised)

This is how i fall apart

lies twist as shadows
pulled under the unforgivable dark

compressing and shrinking into the night
faded onto the worn out pages

analyze me and rip me to pieces

i realize my problems
are longer that an hour of words

questions run around
the empty corners of my mind

motivation slowly slips
through my bare hands

i know it could be worse
but you live by your own terms

just as i live by mine
