The trauma
I feel the trauma inside of me, ready to be set free
As we start to delve deeply and discover this part of me
Hidden away with pain, suppressed for no one to see
But I need to explore this, together as a we
My past has had me hanging, raising pain from my past
But by letting go of my emotions, feeling safe at long last
My thoughts are going round, the pace is so fast
Writing my narrative, my story and naming all of my cast
Childhood is where it takes me, revisting my little boys, girls pain
To be able to make sense and alot that I will gain
Settling down my nervous system to return back to my sane
So I can free myself from clutter and dance in the rain
My world will look totally different, as I come out of fight and flight
No scary world will I see, as I push through with my might
The darkness starts to dim as now I see my light
Letting go of all my anger and turning off my fight
The calmness comes and what is this, it feels odd but nice within
I'm scared of calm no chatter, not making a loud din
As I walk round with a smile on my face supporting a large grin
Today im on cloud nine, as now I can see my win
My goal my hope my dreams I set, the belief I have in me
As the day I dealt with trauma the day I set myself free
So this chapter is now over, forward I must go
To live my best life with focus and let go of my low.
To build a brand new future, which I can now see clear
Stepping out and reaching out, and now without no fear
So today I stand in front of you, sharing my journey as I write
The time I dealt with my trauma, and turned off my fight and flight
Now I help others, who are locked within in their pain
Thinking they are different and calling themselves insane
But I can feel each one of you as you go and try and find
Their happier ever after locked within their own mind
I now don't need to self medicate on the drugs or things I thought would ease
As I had to face myself and change me not to appease
Save myself, grow, reflect and work with my past
Todays the day I'm able to say I've now healed at long last.
I share you my journal this is how I deal with my inner me
To make sense of my feelings, to process
And set this part free
I continue to do my breathe work, and ground myself as I go
So I no longer have to manage life with my high and my low
Self care is important so please look after yourselves I ask.
We report we don't have time, like it is a big mammoth task.
But this prevents us from burn out, and we don't want that you see.
Please do self care and be kind to you, the person you call me.
