Trauma

Dive into the powerful portrayal of trauma as a relentless force, the eye of the hurricane that disrupts our course. Heather's poetic reflection on the mainstream's approach to pain.

trauma is a weapon

a relentless force

the eye of the hurricane

that jolts you off course

vain is the mainstream

cookie cutter approach

one size does not fit all

on the proverbial couch

so much resistance

in healing trauma

remembering you

without all that drama

chaotic coping skills

become your best friend

destructive self-talk

is the ongoing trend

it’s a courageous act

to awaken who you are

rising from the dead

is awkwardly bizarre

self-love is the path

for your safe arrival

discarding heavy baggage

from the train of survival

black and white thinking

limits perspective

reflecting on the truth

is far more effective

there is no magic pill

to shatter illusion

be the artist of your reality

draw your own conclusion

you may feel alone

at times gasp for breath

this is the old dying

a long overdue death

you are never alone

when you find connection

you will always be guided

in the next best direction

the lighthouse stands

steady and secure

awaiting your signal

to guide you to shore

please don’t give up

even when it gets tough

just love yourself more

you are always enough
