Is this what I've been led to believe therapy is?
I'm not even an artist.
A painted canvas doesn't even appeal to my eyes anymore.
But maybe my problem is in the way I see things...or don't.
Or maybe I've been misled since the day I fell.
Ever since that day, my memory has been lagging behind.
Putting two and two together has been harder than ever.
Not that I was ever smart enough to do it in the first place.
I'm slowly regaining the altitude at which I once climbed.
But the day when it'll all come back at once is unknown.
Remembering to forget the day is sometimes difficult.
But the challenge of it all is what I try to live for.
Limping through life is a test of one's will to live.
A test that I will never fail, even if my mind does play tricks on me.
Keep living, and you'll learn, that sore backs are nothing compared to a betrayal.
Especially when the betrayal was brought upon you by yourself.
Life is a game, but don't defeat yourself.

Dear Chris, You did a good job of describing a difficult situation. Some therapies ar excellent, some are not... or maybe its a matter of what is right for whom. Good luck and 'Keep on keepin' on. Great-grandma Bizzy
