Useless?

Doing something you like’ll
help you feel better.
Maybe a vigorous cycle
ride’s the answer? Or let a
 
luxurious soak in a steamy bath
wash away low self-esteem? Perhaps
a leisurely stroll along the path
of enlightenment? But don’t lapse
 
into believing you’re useless.
Think back to when you did well.
You must have had some success.
Anything you can recall? Do tell.
 
Really! Nothing? That is a shame.
I do have more wisdom to impart
but your hour’s up. So, same
time (same fee) next week. We’ll start
 
to delve deeper into the reasons why
you feel the way you do.
Don’t be embarrassed. It’s good to cry.
Here, have a tissue. Take two.
 
Yes, you are in a bit of a state.
But shh! No more. Don’t speak.
If you’re particularly desperate
I’ll see you twice next week.
