ENTER MY WORLD
By Janice Veldman
you need to reach me
not make me reach you
this is a set-up for failure
for it cannot happen
do not argue
tell me it is all right
offer words of pseudo encouragement
avoid all signs that you are not listening
unable to reach me
what has worked
in your world of problem solving
will not work in this world
this world is not based on
logic, order, and for that matter problem-solving.
this is not your problem.
I am not your problem.
this is an illness
which lacks understanding
if able
find a safe, momentary rock
upon which to stand
in the midst of instability.
if you must use strategy
then find the lost key
that will open the door
allowing you to enter my world
