Listen to poem:
"Our Triggered Response"
(by Michelle Lynn LeBlanc 12/18/2023 )
When we go through a rough patch, we got to remember it's just a day
Kind of like an illusion, in which we're all here to play
It's not always easy, when many days so often feel uphill
And top it off with all our baggage inside, that we really don't want to spill
So do we justify Our Triggered Response, as we focus on wrongs of others?
Or do we acknowledge and face our own crap too, as its being uncovered?
Our issues will come to the surface as they're triggered - yup!
We can each blame it on our misfortunes or we can learn to own them up
Yet we've got to remember we're human, and not be too hard on ourselves
Even though sometimes it may feel, like we're going through a lot of hell
But we can't play the victim either and justify the things inside
The things we know we must work on and should never continue to hide
For how we grow and how we learn, is in what we choose to face
Even though sometimes we're embarrassed, and feel ashamed to show our face
What Are All These Triggers and why do they take us so long to resolve?
Its often because there's a mystery inside, that's been long waiting to be solved
Working on our issues is hard, it's not as easy as one, two, three
We're all going through this human journey, it doesn't stop because we have to pee ;)
Find a way to smile, laugh and see the sun, even though the clouds are in the way
Don't forget this journey will get easier, we just have to take it day by day!
