Ghetto Therapy

“Ghetto Therapy”

Some choose to pay handsomely for the opinions of strangers

It’s easier to confide in them because lose words aren’t in danger

Mouths are complicated puzzles… tailored made for each individual

To bluff you out of your muzzle I had to pretend I was being less critical

For countless hours I listened, hand firmly rested on chin

I clung to your every sentence my ears over clogged by your sins

You’re a man of such high stature with many flunkies at your disposal

But you were easily captured by the sweet nothings that I told you

Sitting in a lawn chair casually swigging on your drink

From across the room I stared giving no hints of what I think

About the crevices of your soul that you've poured into my cap

Your spirit is riddled with holes

And your heart and conscious do not overlap

The beauty of your face has turned your humility into a disgrace

I tried to study your case but it seems your morals have been misplaced

But I’m just your audience listening, not getting paid by the hour

As you speak your symphony your ego is gently being deflowered

You no longer hold the power…..

I’m not a trained therapist, can’t give a medical determination

My motives are mysterious and I’m giving my resignation

Effective immediately

Because you lie and use too greedily

Please don’t try to plea with me my services are no longer free
