He asked me a question
That directly related to my past
Which reminded me that life is not fair
And is sometimes cruel and merciless
And so I started to cry
And his response was,
"Where are the tears coming from?"
He was not the first to do this.
The trend seems to surpass gender, age, training, and approach.
An inside joke for counselors:
"If we're going to listen to all of their issues,
We at least reserve the right to kick 'em when they're down."
It always seems to happen right in the middle of a revelation,
When I'm allowing myself to feel what I was trained not to feel,
My soul starting to center itself--
And someone is being left out, so he or she asks the dreaded question,
Halting my progress and requiring yet another fifty minute hour
And ten dollar co-pay.
