Triggers

A poem on unearthing the past and embracing growth.

Triggers arise,
Like ancient files,
Forgotten for miles,
That stir up old feelings vile.

Memories once suppressed,
Now painfully confessed,
Wounds left unhealed,
For ages concealed.

Victimhood’s tales,
Are brought to light,
But triggers also bring,
A chance to make things right.

Remember me for faster sign in

With awareness in tow,
We can face it, head-on, and grow,
An opportunity to see,
Our past with clarity.

To process what’s been repressed,
And rewrite our narrative, at last,
From a broader point of view,
And a more conscious self pursue.
