Symbiosis Sympathy Sought Poem by Terence George Craddock

Symbiosis Sympathy Sought



unwise dependency find
tempting manipulation habit
learned desired helplessness
corrodes player victim souls

dependency was acquired
compassion sympathy seekers
sought symbiosis learned
shell cast coping techniques

when tar trapped
in cannot control
horror situations
learned helplessness

is experience contracted
molasses binding mental state
organism was fear forced
to endure aversive stimuli

stimuli sizzles painful
unpleasant trauma terror
errodes suffering soul
victim becomes unable

unwilling to avoid
subsequent encounters
with stress inflicted
stimuli even if escapable

previous brutality taught
victim has trauma learned
it cannot control situations
elephant wooden peg bound
