A SEA OF TRAUMA

Mel Waldman

Patients flow to my office in a sea of trauma,
imploding, exploding,
dissolving in a cauldron of rage,
compelled by unbearable pain,
loathing other humans, but especially themselves,

&
when they arrive, they hate me too, for no one has
really helped them in the past,
where all dreams and hope were shattered.

So why should I be The One.

And perhaps, I am not the therapist to guide them
through their daily storms.
Still, we must try.
We must struggle.

And if I empower them, perhaps, I will empower
myself too.

In any case, we walk through the storm together,
each patient and I,
merged in the
metamorphosis
of therapy.

And we are one!
