Psychiatry Poem by James Hunter

Concentrate on this candle
Stare deep into the flame
A journey to the unconscious mind
To find the root of all my pain
How did I end up this way
Where did I go wrong
Is it all my fathers fault
Or should I blame my mom
I hate that deep inside of me
I cannot trust or love
I do not trust myself in fact
So what am I made of
The thing that scares me most
Will my kids endure my pain
Will they feel what I have felt
Will they love and trust the same
But when I look into their eyes
And see a love so pure
I realize that I was wrong
And loving them will be my cure
