THE THERAPIST

I listen intently and patiently to what you said 
I am your therapist and want to get inside your head 
So many things that you are willing to confess 
It's plain to see that you are under a lot of stress 

Being a therapist or as the Americans would say shrink 
I have to understand what people say and think
Everybody has a different story to tell 
My common goal is to get them well 

I better go now as I have another appointment at ten 
The analysing and listening will start once again 
Answering a question with a question is what I'm trained to do 
As I search for the answers and the ultimate clue
