Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Reptilian Brain

Timeless and haunting
Recurring nightmares
Trauma resurfacing
Over and over again

Reasoning through images
Ongoing healing
Resisting auto pilot
Inventing resolutions
And re-inventing
Rinse and repeat

New scenarios
New outcomes
Letting go of trauma
Releasing
Reprogramming
Rinse and repeat
