Trauma never dies [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Trauma is never forgotten
It lurks in shadows of you
In the corners of your mind
Slips unnoticed in the cracks
The broken spaces of your self
Unnoticed, silent and deadly
Trauma comes out sometimes
An unwelcomed predator
It’s that anger you throw at strangers
The hostility you show friends
Those outbursts of sudden tears
And those endless sleepless nights
Trauma is a constant companion
An unwanted visitor, a stalker
It haunts your every move
Waiting to pounce on your happiness
A thief who steals your peace of mind
A ghoul that seeks out your weaknesses
Trauma is a hidden parasite
At times you forget it’s there
You don’t feel its presence
But it is always there
Waiting… for something
Anything to set it off
Trauma cannot be erased
Trauma cannot be forgotten
Trauma cannot be deleted
Trauma cannot be wiped
Trauma never dies
Trauma… has no cure
