Trauma poem

The scars were deep within

It felt like showing them would be a sin,

All of it was under false pretenses

I clearly didn’t sense it

I was manipulated and abused

I most certainly wasn’t confused

This was really happening

Not something I was imagining 

I finally woke up from this nightmare 

Then realised there were lies everywhere 

I thank God for saving me,

Saving me from the monster who only knew how to scare me frozen
