Minor Trauma

What I learned in isolation. 

Were things that can’t help me now. 

Now that I’ve been released into society once again. 

Into the world that will not be able to protect me. 

But will nurture me. 

And will test my abilities rather than my obedience. 

I have chosen to let my memories of those days diffuse. 

Except for the flashbacks of those kind strangers who helped me through.
