Brain

I learned something new today, about trauma

Our brains remove what's too much to handle

I can't remember anything before I was 7 yrs old

no matter how much I try, I can't light this candle

I am old enough now

I want to revisit that time now

I need to prove that I am stronger now

I think I am ready for this now

Our brains make decisions for us with no permission

decisions that are not theirs to make

They take their toll on us when the time is right

I want to be able to channel my own heart ache

Please help me, a little girl screams

I want to remember it all

I am a control freak with no control over my elements

memories... please flood me like a waterfall
