• Client Poetry

  This poem was written by a Counseling Department client. It is beautiful.

   

  "In this tranquil place where I come, I can be me. You won't have it any other way. Surprising, since out there being me is not very popular. Here I can put my feelings into words and no one will throw them back in my face. Out there what I say usually gets twisted, deformed and hard; to be used as a weapon against me. Here, I find freedom and strength and I take it out there to be used for me and no one can steal it away because you told me and I believe you, and it is so. Little by little I gain strength, freedom and sweet peace; the very elements I need to be me again, out there."
