SO
LIKE 
when my therapist mentions 
HOW fabulously wealthy 
he is
it BOTHERS me 

WHY

I'm NOT SURE 
there's a BUNCH of STUFF 
BUT I'm not sure if anything I might say
would be the thing, ya KNOW 
SOMETIMES it's 
talk-y talk-y 

it's RUDE 
I've explained to him
my FEAR

he's describing, sometimes, his leverage 
as head of the estate
OVER his family
I find THAT 
a little triggering 

AND
WHILE all this is HAPPENING 
I'm LIKE 
SHUT UP m*therf*cker
don't CHARGE me
to rub my face
in your
PRIVILEGE 

BUT 
I don't SAY that

WHY

I MEAN 
I have TOLD him 
I have ISSUES around this
I have told him I haven't really worked 
THOSE issues OUT 

I'm pretty sure
I made clear I wasn't particularly interested in 
WORKING through them now

SO
I'd have to maybe BE confrontational 
& THAT
MAYBE FEELS like 
ACT LIKE I WANT you to

SO
MAYBE 
you see how I'm wondering if 
it's SOME kind of 
WEIRD transference THING 

I MEAN 
I think I like him enough 
& FEEL like 
it's just not worth 
SAYING SOMETHING 
BUT 

THAT MIGHT be a PATTERN in me
I MIGHT need to re-evaluate
BUT 
SURELY 
being confrontational is not a virtue 

it FEELS like 
getting caught up in something irrelevant 

EXCEPT 
if it bothers you
it MEANS something 

I don't think it's jealousy 
BUT 
I could be wrong
