Best Trauma Poems
Childhood TraumaThose pillars supposed to hold us
fell and crippled us instead
those hands that were made to hold us
strangled our tender necks
the years meant to be our happiest
every day filled with dread
if to be young is very heaven
then truly we were robbed...

Ode
Trauma Bleeds Through My PenShall I allow my heart to break its fences
and profusely bare its senses
as my mind feels no fighting chances
the soul divulges the pain’s incenses
trauma bleeds through my pen with no pretences.
*****
Shall I allow my heart to shed its shield
and had its very pulses peeled

TraumaTRAUMA
Twist the knife,
Riddled with her innocence,
Against her sweet nectar.
Untimely budding,
Mastered by machination, unimaginable
Aberration of rose’s robbery ~ thorns remain intact.

Trauma In My Mother's House"Trauma In my Mother's House"
Some mornings came whispering in my mother's ears the torment of being a lady;
It explained to her how by the kitchen knife
she was meant to breathe only from a man’s pocket
She was told that her tears undermine society
&...

War and Peace In the Time of Love's Retribution
"War and Peace in the Days of Love’s Retribution"
All is fair
in Love and War
they say
Lost are the
gambling angels
who walk tight ropes
from the point
where time departed
the jewel stolen from her crown
sacrificed for
something better
a child’s happiness
another fallen
goddess
tripping between
the cracks...

Things I Forget To AskWhat does it feel like to wake up into your skin?
Your day?
What do you feel first most days?
Is it in any way influenced by gratitude,
or totally given over to worry,
anxious
or, worse, anticipating
shortness of healthy mind time
and insufficiency of safe body space?
Is this life...

Parallelismus Membrorum
DissociationI’m on autopilot.
Surrounded by an unfamiliar climate.
I’m on the outside looking in.
Looking down at blurry skin.
It’s possible I could be dead.
I'm Just a small person in my head....

The Careless ManI have Dreams
I have Goals
I have a Life
I have a Cause
I am Here for a Reason
I fear my life will be taken away
By a careless man
I fear I'll become part of the 97% too soon
I fear I might die with my legs open and a...

River of TearsA Vulcan's volcanic rage erupts from deep within –
No matter where or when it roars and it spits.
A shattered mirror reflecting my every flawful flaw –
Bleeding shards of grotesque glass...
that slice through my skin.
The past sears me like a branding iron,
Desert...

from hands, unforgotten words, screams echoed
the times no one wants to relive
somehow you manage to give those life
everytime something isnt the way you dreamed of it to be
back then you managed to keep a...

Descent To Ascent……Somewhere a lone survivor of a plane crash
A man of sound and reason
standing tall and proud.
But a voice of lies and madness
whispering words of doubt.
His mind a fortress sturdy
no shadows in...

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You StrongerLife screams and tempos tosses
that you walk through hell gates and bosses.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
while the hell in your life last longer.
It is not until when you ran through the rain
and know the strife of the pain,
that you can look back and...

Upward PathIn the dark wastelands
of my traumas, I see ahead
a path that leads to my
healing—
and in the far distance
of this upward path, I see
mountains of growth
awaiting my daring climb.
