Prolific,persistent
intense and obtuse:
Hallucinatory voices
filled this recluse.
Ed had painted a dream
picturing nature's scream
Bad things happen,
trauma occurs,
resilience is what gets you through.
So bounce back,
as you have survived 100% of your worse days.
The pain stopped.
Why am I standing still?
I can't go forward nor backwards.
Like a stone, I am.
Struck and stuck,
Filled with despair.
I've always been described as mature,
yet not many know I grew up too fast,
for trauma broke an innocent girl,
her innocence,
her happiness.
while the heart may come off pure
secret desires inherently do not
synchronized standards = compatibility
yet unhealed trauma = an utter mess
Frequency of heart beat high
Extreme unexpectation apparent without a sigh
Affliction by an unseen trauma
Recurring in the mind is this non-existing failure tumor.
I look into your eyes
And I’m safe
And I’m six years old
And you tell me there is no God
And I’m twelve
And my parents are driving home in opposite directions
Slowly through the curtains
Night turns to day;
Illusive shadowed pictures
Evaporate and die;
Within inner images array
Captured--locked forever
In imagination,stay.

fifty soldiers at a political war
in the field
suffering head trauma
Trump says
they ‘re only headaches
if only his doctors would have said
they ‘re only bone spurs
Mr. O'Toole in trauma sat in front
Seeking mercy from tax assessor stunt.
His Irish luck grace
Full Blown-in his face.
With distaste pay money in full upfront.

There once was a Peruvian llama
Whose owner shipped him to Alabama
Horns blaring, lights flashing
Folks screaming, cars crashing
All points lookout ~ one llama in trauma
aka
Terry's Rush Hour Tube Trauma
A voice rose from a burning bush,
"O feel the contours of my tush!
Ounce for ounce
Cheeks will bounce
With just an itty-bitty push!"
Sits on the floor and he looks into space
Or rocks back and forward his hands on his face
There’s no one to want him there’s no one to care
He’s the guy with a thousand yard stare
Form:
Have a blessed birthday, Aira,
A smile stops emotional stress;
Bad experience causes trauma,
Laughter lets life defeat distress.
Topic: Birthday of Aira Gucilatar (March 20)
I’m on autopilot.
Surrounded by an unfamiliar climate.
I’m on the outside looking in.
Looking down at blurry skin.
It’s possible I could be dead.
I'm Just a small person in my head.
“Help a thief” heard someone scream
This is quite normal strange as it may seem
Needs a wee comma
Or it'll cause trauma
So next time, yell, “Help... comma... a thief”
“Help a thief” heard someone scream
This is quite normal though strange it may seem
Needs a wee comma
Or it'll cause a trauma
So next time, yell, “Help comma a thief”
There once was a girl named Shama
Who wondered about her karma
As a poet her rhymes
Were always out of time
To most her terza rima was trauma
Deborah's
limerick contest
That kid at eleven before his first kiss
is the kid that I really, really miss.
Every kid thereafter
was more tears than laughter,
molding the world-weary cynic that this old man now is.
Trauma Solved By Obama
Terrorists had created terrible trauma;
Then in to save the day came Obama,
And with his magic;
Removed things tragic;
Produced peace by removing Osama.
Jim Horn
And so I turned away from the world
I faced myself
My shadows writhing set in stone
I saw myself alone
I stared myself unknown
In silence to insane
I retired in self blame
Funny thing happened on my way to the sauna
Met a strange-looking man carrying an iguana
Perhaps a family pet
Not many friends I'll bet
Iguanas have the ability to cause a trauma
Resistant to the light, we crouch in fright ~
Bemused by lower mind, we feel contrite
How long with fear, will we thus trauma bond ~
Ignite bliss within, by love’s magic wand

All broken
and patched
but not healed.
The past
keep itself
at my heels.
I want to believe
I have grown
out of this,
I have recovered
from this,
but...
why does
it keep haunting me?
