Physically? VA.... Mentally? I'm not quite sure

You look at me with pity and fear.
My questions answered with a question of your own,
A straight answer never given.

You run me in circles,
Taking my money and my time,
While further down I drown.

I scream, I plead, and I bare my soul,
But you stare back in cold detachment.
After years of training, is this all you can do?

You can't understand.
You've never been where I am,
And yet you are supposed to be at the top of your field.

The bell rings,
Our session over,
And you collect your fee.
Another session scheduled,
Another game to play.
You move on to the next tortured soul.

Why did I keep returning?
At that time in my life you were my only hope.

It's been two years now,
And I play this game alone.
I've picked up the pieces,
I will be well,
And I will continue to fight on.

I thought this was great. This is one of the reasons I have turned down going to these kind of people. I have been on the brink of utter insanity, literally.......but never went. Always ended up pulling through somehow.
Good poem.

  I really don't like those people. Ice eyes. Ice hearts. Great job in showing how some of these therapists work...

I know how you feel. It didn't turn out well for me too. I know now that its better to turn to the ones you love. Great job on the poem.
