I Stopped Going to Therapy

Monday, August 17, 2015
"Because I knew my therapist 
was right, and I wanted 
to keep being wrong. 
I wanted to keep my bad habits 
like charms on a bracelet. 
I did not want to be brave. 
I think I like my brain best 
in a bar fight with my heart. 
I think I like myself a little broken, 
with rough edges, a little harder 
to grasp. I like poetry 
better than therapy anyway. 
The poems never judge me 
for healing wrong."
