Poem: In front of the therapist

You and I
We sit together on the comfortable couch,

You want to know about me,
To heal my traumas.

You see I can describe myself,
But I do not fully know myself.

You see I am laugh on the screen,
But I am not fully healed.

You know it all,
But it’s not all I gave you.

I am here in front of you,
But my mind is travelling somewhere far from you.
I am here,
But I am not fully here.
I am far away,
But I am not fully there.
I am not fully in the present,
I am not fully in the past,
I am not fully in the future.

I am in between,
I am breath,

But I am not fully alive.
