Trauma
Something makes me crazy
It can be loving
Or it can be deadly
Trauma, it’s inside me
I feel it pounding
Trying to subdue me
But I understand what’s wrong
Lies
Give me peace and then you snatch it
I don’t trust what you do
I won’t misplace it
Misplacing my trust, never again
Never would I see such a shift from love to hate and back
You keep me on edge, but you still save me
Sometimes I am afraid that your potential attack
You promised me freedom from the cage you designed
You issued me fines
Only to lie and make me repay
For a tax you created
To only myself, I hated
You’re a trigger warning
For something I don’t believe is dangerous
Something I know I can handle
I think I can handle
I wish I could handle
One day I will be gone
And you will no longer work
While I lay peacefully in the dirt
But you taught me the lesson of faith
Of one not easily obtained
If I knew what was going to happen
I might’ve refrained
From ever trying at all
Oh, how bleak would be the fall
You may allow myself to be alive
But you will never
Be the singularity
That shall teach me
To thrive
