You're going down... In fact you're at an all-time low. You need help, because the only way you can get back up is by taking the advice of a professional. Your story... your downfall... told from your own perspective, in verse form, and from the perspective of your 'consultant', in prose... Warning... don't try this at home...!
Excerpt
1. Not History
You never talk about it
Nobody knows about it
Untold pain behind the smile
When you’re asked about your past
You want to change the subject
‘It’s not important’ you lie
Everyone must be thinking
How convenient to say
‘And the rest is history’
The rest is not history
The rest, of course, lives and breathes
And dwells within heart and mind
And will remain forever
A most unwelcome squatter
So you never mention it
Because you can’t stand the pain
No, you’re not in denial
It’s for real and you know it
The only trouble is though
Once able to admit it
And face it, speak about it
Openly acknowledge it
Then you have to re-live it
Blow by agonising blow
That’s both the physical ones
As well as the mental ones
The rest is not history
Will never be history
