who am i without the trauma
i try to have some good memories to go back to to remind myself i have felt happiness in times of dissociation the first memory is me with my brother in the ocean him teaching me to surf pushing me into waves i remember the sun on my back as i laid on my pink and blue hearts surfboard and how good in that moment it felt to be alive i told myself in that moment to remember this and i have held it for years and years my next memory i go to is you i opened my apartment door for the first time it was a cold night in March here in London the moon shining above us and you were wearing your long black north face jacket you just smiled at me with a huge smile and said a simple "hi!" you were so happy it made me feel so happy seeing you smile it felt so comfortable and sweet that simple happy hi took me right out of dissociation you have been my best friend since these two memories keep me alive in the month of March they remind me i can feel happiness they remind me that i am alive even after the darkest of times i am alive i am alive and i can feel happiness

it is that time of year again when i struggle most, it is march
a year ago i lie awake unexpectedly pregnant crying because what i knew was right for me was not conventionally right what some women dream of was my worst nightmare what i dreamed of at one time felt so disgusting wrong the guilt eats me away sometimes now it creeps up in the night in the darkness in the cold i hope one day i get that chance again when everything is right when the enviorment is right when the timing is right i hope one day i get that chance again

a year ago
i am lost these are words that the world has heard me scream at the top of my lungs i am lost not in the life or death kind of way i am lost in the this version of me feels the most me i have ever felt i am lost in the way that i am naviagting a room that is pitch black and all i hear are screams of my past begging me to find my way i am lost but in a transitional way i am lost but in a way that my future actually scares me i am lost but in a way that i want more for myself than just this

i know i have written these three words before but this time it is different
i met you almost two years ago i hurt you while scrambling through my own pain trying to find my way through a dark maze with a haze of ache you got caught in my rage of a crossfire i realized i actually liked someone trusted them so easily i was angry someone actually made me laugh made me smile the hurricane was a category five you took shelter far away from me my tears dripping from the sky two years after the hurricane we are just recovering there is life again there is growth there is laughter there is happiness there is light there is a second chance

two years later and a second chance
i am 28 years old still trying to figure out the meaning to all of this confused on human emotion confused on life but i know this familiar feeling the feeling of being lost of not knowing what way is up what way is down what way is left what way is 𝘳π˜ͺ𝘨𝘩𝘡 this time though my self soothing is not working not like how it use to atleast i am not panicking i am not jumping ship i am not escaping all like i normally would in my past no this time is different this time is 𝘳π˜ͺ𝘨𝘩𝘡

this room is familiar but it is not where i am to stay
it took me 313 days to realise it was you it took me 313 days to process that my soul wanted nothing more than to be loved by you the rest of our lives it took me 313 days in the purest most raw form to realize you were the sound of birds chirping in the morning light it took me 313 days to realize that i would choose you time and time and time again jolting me like the clock once it strikes twelve awakening my soul from the deepest slumber i hope you know that i love you since the moment i stepped foot into that pub since the moment our eyes met since the moment our souls intertwined i love you
