It didn’t work, so she grabbed paper and pen.
Nothing came, except tears like rain.
What, oh, what, can get rid of this pain?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She reaches in her desk; pulls out a knife and slashes,
right alongside all the other gruesome gashes.
She winces slightly as the blood rushes down.
Her face changes, from a smile, to a deep frown.

Kinda sounds like me… at least as far as the cutting goes, but not the shrink part. 😛 One time when I was forced to see one, a few years ago, it actually put me in a deeper depression instead of helped me. But such is life. 😛 [*~Advice~*]
