Couselor Roulette

Counselor Roulette

The first one made me meditate
on my baby's death.
Had to say goodbye to him weekly,
before I was ready.
It nearly destroyed me -
he'd been gone for only a month,
and I didn't quite know where he was.

The second one
said I had to pull myself
together for Jeremy's sake.
He didn't consider the fact
that I COULDN'T pull myself together -
he just made me feel worse
by adding the guilt onto the deadness.

The third one was Kelly.
He tried to understand.
He listened.
He cared.
