Traumatized Poem by Melissa Robinson

Traumatized

Rating: 4.0


I can inhale what alters my mind,
but we all know that I'm not fine..
I tried so hard, but lost it all-
this misery can't be erased with time.

I see it each time i close my eyes;
i feel ur touch; I'm traumatized..
I see you in my dreams' each night;
but i push back ur hands and try to fight.

I no longer lie there with an apathetic stare;
pretend that your not even there…
Ur hostility has been exposed, my dear;
You are why I'm so consumed by fear.

This fray in my mind must come to an end,
My wounds from to past, devoid of rest, must mend.
just stabilize me with Lithium,
Erase the past that I Just Can't.

Deceived by family, comforted by friends;
Devoured by a secret held deep within..
I push back the memories, i try and forget
and it brings sorrow like an addiction that i just can't quit.

You are very wise and i see where you are coming from. Pain can either be used to help you become much stronger or it can diminish all motivation- but its your choice on wether u let it make u...or break you.

This formal poem is dead on, in more than one way. Many, many cannot survive this doing. I'm one who did. You must learn meditation, which can, believe me, duplicate the feeling of drugs without them. I did it. You can as well. Read the Buddhist sutras for clues. You might be able to save yourself, since no one else can accomplish that feat. It is, by the way, a fantastic poem that I will rate as a ten if I could. The site seems unable to take my ratings. So there you have it. Best wishes; and, please, keep on writing. You have a tremendous gift for us all...
