The Compassionate Psychiatrist
Blue SkyI was so angry
When you cold turkeyed my meds
I felt in crisisWhen I first met you
I thought you’d disregard me
But you surprised meYou listened to me
Unlike the other doctors
The ones who pushed medsYou explained reasons
You discontinued my meds
You quelled my angerYou sat while I cried
And explained why I was at
The psych hospitalYou offered support
And kept listening to me
Weave my tragedyThe abandonment
The emotional neglect
The intense sadnessThat the pure anger
And feelings of utter rage
Hid deep inside meYou offered kindness
Throughout all my tears and fears
Your words held the keyTo my heart and soul
And it is no wonder that
I’m in love with you
Wow! The twist at the end of this poem left me speechless. I can understand how complex the relationship between a psychiatrist and patient can be. After all, how can we avoid becoming close to a person we share our deepest secrets with? Thank you for sharing this poem!

Falling in love with him definitely took me by surprise! When I realized it happened, I thought “This is crazy!” I have learned a lot about myself by being in love with him.
