relying on hope

deep into the psych books,
almost
doctor deep.
i'm wading in a masters
program.
heading towards
a phd
in behavioral science.
reading
hard into the night from
the DSM.
Freud and Jung.
i realize at some point
though.
that it's an industry.
a money grinding machine
built on hope.
a dangerous word.
the world is awash with self
book books
and life coaches.
but hope,
no, there is none.
there is no cure.
no way out.
no one truly changes
for the better.
it's the secret they don't tell
you.
no one 
gets healed. it's whispered
between
doctors,
between therapists
and psychiatrists
the patient though keeps
coming back
for more.
more hope.
