Ingrate to grateful

free verse thoughts on a therapy session

Great, the session was,
        but, no,
Grating is the sensation I felt, ...
        was I displaying
Ingrained behavior that leads
        to attempts at
Ingratiating myself with others?
        Am I an
Ingrate? Well, yes, self-absorbed, selfish,
        though, however belated,
Grateful I am for correction, reflection,
        for patience and
Grace in lieu of a "coup de grâce."
