Analysis of Therapy



You’ve put me here in this dark place,
No ending is in sight,
I feel my way around sharp walls,
Trying to find a light.

And as I fall down on my knees,
Hands bleeding and in pain,
I start to think I can’t go on,
Or touch those walls again.

But though I haven’t found it yet,
I know one day I will,
The light is here somewhere,
I’m looking for it still
