“Something to Be Said”
There is something to be said for
Having someone to decompress with.
Something to be said for having
Someone to have some form of
human physical contact with... There’s
Something to be said for having
Someone invested in you that
Isn't just your father or mother.
“Legacy”
If children learn from the actions of their parents
and their parents are PTSD sufferers are they not
raised to struggle with the same behaviors? Don’t
they then struggle to find normalcy in a world where
normal was stripped away? Where security of mind
never existed? And what then of their children's
offspring? Does the legacy of trauma fade or
is it a permanent ingredient in the milk? Why then
do we keep pretending that an incident in the past
has no impact later, that ancestors should forget
past hurts when the wound is still so freshly exposed?
“Hurt or Help”
Hurt seeks to hurt but I use it
as a source of sympathy. I
use it as a 6th sense to sense
the sensitivities of another. I hate
my own hurt enough to welcome it
if it helps me provide comfort. It is
my super human power, my ache
provides strength for others.
