Poem Title:
Poem
Trauma..... Always there like a shadow looming and haunting It be monster in closet Be spook that sits by a door It sticks.... thick and solid like tar and feather A plague that becomes everlasting Repetitive in one's heart a knot in throat that has became too hard to swallow Trauma..... a disease infused inside a life This life a life filled will bittersweet sadness and guilty happiness accompanied with fake smiles holding hands with depression acting... as if everything is just fine The load, too heavy to bear yet too proud to ask for help to ease the weight of secret burdens Generational curse placed up thee Creeping in and out of remission from a graveyard of regret It plays hide and seek with emotions while bathing in the tears of a fool twice removed Years of unresolved trauma woven into the fabric of childhood where its remnants of adulthood have began to unravel Trauma... A plethora of cracked promises a broken soul that has yet to be repaired A toxin seeping from yesterday's past being forced to inhale its malignancy of anguish Staining the cornerstone of drifting memory that merely fades but... never fully washes away © 8-20-2020
