2018 I don't know whether to thank poetry
or blame it for the reliving of past trauma
I think I might be more disturbed
from having relived trauma in my head
Seeing it all from another perspect
I don't know if poetry healed me
in some of the ways I needed it to
I don't know if poetry betrayed me
when I put down the pen
to hide from my truth
I Lie About Taumatic Memories
You know, like the time I got hit on the head hard by a falling sign: Well it was Dally-N-The Alley and not professional and I didn't want to sue one of my favorite venues - so instead I remember the great music acts and the cool earrings. Of course the blow probably shortened my life and baby daddy came to the funeral so all is emotinally neutral there - the biggie, parents are dead, another biggie - I'm pretty cool with old ttaumas and some outcomes that make me snicker (was snickerin' at a few of 'em this am actually.) The rest just are faded. Poetry to heal. Time works pretty good. I lie in poetry - disguise it so that when I read it I won't evoke nothin' ! (double negative purely intentional for emphasis). :D
My own scribblings
My own scribblings almost all the time remind me that I should hit "Delete" but God knows why I don't

Thank you all!!
Yes, I too believe it is cathartic. And It's not really the poetry that makes me think backward. Visions from the past are triggered by many moments. I do so love poetry. It really is a nice outlet for expression the frustration of old shit making its way to surface...again. Love you all! Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments!
