Best Triggers Poems

I’m afraid of bright blue cars. 
Every time I see one driving down the road, my body tenses and I look away. 
Only then to look more closely to see the driver's face. 
Once I figure out who’s driving, I can relax a little, but...

What triggers out-of-control emotions?
frown
whistle
lopsided picture frame
yellow flowered wallpaper
person
smell
landscape
poem
painted canvas
purse
postcard
antique mall
toothbrush
six thousand eight hundred other things
What triggers me is unique to me
And what triggers you is an anomaly to me...

the punch of the first note 
the sound of your name 
the sight of the number 
invokes an ocean of emotion

the tickle of a memory 
the hint of a smile tugging lips 
the ache of a heart 
what remains is just reminiscing

the last word

P eople all over the earth were shocked to hear that a Comet half the size of the moon, would
A nnihilate every human being and most animals on earth on Friday, August 26, 2016; no one would survive.

Not gas, not oil, but leadership
  Yes, it's leadership pipelines we lack
    Young people coming up through the ranks
    For their mentors' devotion giving thanks

I hate how I feel

Although common it seems

Having been once again 

What I swore I’d not be

 

Yes, despite all the talks

That I’ve had with myself

Making promises to

Put the past on the shelf

 

Asking Heaven to help me

And forming a plan

Putting forth my best effort

To...

But tonight you warm my heart.
Thank you. I have been wondering

I just want to lift my head up and walk not weep
I want to Stop having to ask people to...

Irritated Steven wrote his anger triggers down.
His therapist read them, trying not to frown.

Number 106 was a fat dairy cow.

Number 214 was bird booby that was blue.
All together there were a thousand and two.
Everything made him mad –...

There are some poems we are just not ready to write
The wound is still too fresh for us to take notes from the light of it
And our pencil tips aren't sharp enough to stitch us up just yet

When we spill our sins in ink
We pray...

UNFORSAKENED

It is I, you said, was God-send
I was oblivious to your retirement
That extra special event.

It is I, you told, "...was a nobody."
The day after, I fell to the floor and wept
One abruptly wailed out your name.

It is I, you loved, with a love  so...

Safety is a rare commodity. 
You can tell someone your traumas & triggers and they will still use them against you for personal gain to try to control. 
Which can lead to physical abuse, if you call them out on their role. 
If you aren't...
