++
Unresolved trauma equals
accumulated trauma
^
Where are the breaks
in between?
^
We’re doing our best
when times seem better
^
in between the really hard
times
^
The really hard times
that would be hard for
anyone
everyone
^
We never had a warning
no yellow light
no warning
^
BAM
(not even exclamation marks can help describe this one)
^
What little bit of peace
we’d found
^
GONE
^
in less than one heartbeat
^
GONE
^
Where did our peace go?
We don’t know
our self ran after it
^
BOTH GONE NOW!
^
how to find either one?
Our peace
our self
our peaceful self?
++
there are tears
in between
tears
from being torn
ripped from our
childhood
^
into a grownup’s
world
We could not escape it.
^
ten thousand thousand times
We could not escape it.
++
the glue that binds
one’s self to one’s self
a wet glue
a slippery salty water glue
^
tears
self
peace
^
Where?
How?
When?
^
because life is full of
slip ups
and blunders
^
We were supposed to be
a self in trouble
and in peace
^
not one or the other
^
not losing our self
when
THE BIG TROUBLES CAME
(THE BIG TROUBLES COME)
^
so no peace
could be found
(can be found)
^
or our self
^
blown up
blown away
^
so when the threats come
(and life will make sure that sometimes they do)
^
tears find us
standing more than naked
no legs left to stand
WITH
no body at all
so it
seems
^
again
and again
and
++
“Come back to your body,
Linda.
Come be in your body
tears and all
^
Yes, your world
appears to be quaking
^
Yes it could eat you up
and leave
nothing
behind
at all
^
POOF
^
A puff of mist
^
But now people see you
not like long ago
when so often you
vanished
into the mist
nobody noticed
nobody found you
(nobody even found out this was happening to you)
^
Split apart
smaller than the parts
of an atom
^
Those big people
did that
to
YOU!
^
NO MORE!
THIS
is not the same.
^
You can remember
your self
NOW
Re-member!
^
tears in your present
taste them.
They are salty
^
as they have always been
^
they belong to YOU.
^
Remember this:
YOU
ARE
YOU!”
