Traumatic Changes

Traumatized people are different ... trauma will do that to a person ...

Traumatic Changes

 

Why am I different you ask?

Well for one thing

It could be the abuse.

Or maybe it’s because I can’t remember …

Thirteen, I was 13?

Funny I don’t recollect,

Anything but the abuse,

Welcome to my world,

Maybe that’s caused by the trauma?

Yes trauma changes people,

We see the world differently.

Others think just because

We recognize that fact,

We should be able

To make the changes

Become normal,

React like everyone else,

A non traumatized person …

It is mind over matter

Is it not?

Nope, not even close

Hypervigilant and sensitive

To any minute change

We live our lives damaged

Needy, feeling abandoned

Trouble trusting,

Expecting the worst …

Not the way a life should be lived…

Ever
