"Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Carrick on Shannon Mental Health Services"

This is a poem I that I wrote while receiving CBT from Psychologist Patrick 

Crowded thoughts with tears,

This is what it has been like for many years,

A reason not yet known, 

Over time these thoughts have grown.

This is who you have always been,

But not what others around you have seen. 

A desire for attention,

Is not something you want to mention. 

Watching over, looking in from afar,

Hoping that they know who you are.

Needing them to notice you, 

Knowing that’s not what they are going to do.

Don’t mistake this for something it’s not,

Trust me, you haven’t lost the plot,

Infatuation is a short lived feeling. 

These thoughts, they have no meaning.
