Versia Sebhatu Poet Rhyme

Trauma

Have I blocked out every trauma
Is it real or subconscious drama
I ask myself if this is amnesia
have I suffered an infarct or seizure

So many things I have suppressed
things that need to be addressed
lingering memories of molestation
perpetrator's without incarceration

Who is accountable for these horrific crimes
if the memories are embedded and confined
how do we investigate that which we obliterate
the mind has built up walls that we can't penetrate

Is my mind protecting me from indecencies 
the thoughts are never ending ceaselessly
I try to bring them to the forefront, concentrate
close my eyes in a dark room and I meditate

Do I dare undergo some hypnosis
or have I acquired some psychosis
why can't I recall or commemorate
I'm unable to decipher or disseminate

I acknowledge and eternalize the existence
but why is my consciousness full of resistence
why doesn't it allow the memory to release
so that my whole mind could be at peace

I emerge and deliberate into deep thought
the criminals must be apprehended, caught
this is a battle that I've consistently fought
justice is what I have diligently sought

There must be some lessons learned
so that others will not be burned
parents please be leary of  your friends
they may be hiding some unspeakable sins
