trauma

trauma
is a beast, the fire
you
get caught in, the near
death by
drowning.
the car accident.
food poisoning.
love betrayed.
the list goes on and on.
it's a frightful
thing.
and you remember
it all
as if it was yesterday.
strange how
pain
sticks to us.
fresh in our minds
with the slightest
of triggers. though less
and less
as the years roll on.
