Getting My Head on Straight

I'm trying to get my head on straight
Trying to do so before its too late
To save my marriage and keep my mate
For if I don't get my head on straight
I fear that I will suffer a most dreadful fate
Ending up all alone and finding myself full of hate
Which indeed would be a most hellish state
So today I met with a therapist to learn to relate
To myself and my neighbors and especially my mate
Trying to understand and be understood at this late date
Praying and hoping that my demons will soon abate
My mind getting tired of carrying such a heavy weight
Yet, I know that there may be a long wait
As I work and struggle to get my head on straight
