What Trauma Really Is
It was not trauma when I cried that night I lost myself to you
Nor are the times I felt defenseless and scared as hell
It was not trauma when you throw draggers with your words
Nor the number of slaps you hit me with your so called discipline

Let me tell you what trauma really is
Trauma is when I can't sleep at night
without thinking someone's coming for me
Trauma are the endless thoughts that creep within me
—how I'll never be enough, and trauma

Is me backing forth with happiness and depression
Is me wondering whether to live, thrive and move on
Or just dive myself into sorrow, blade and bleed on
Trauma is everything my mind is chaining me,
preventing me to become the version I want to be.
