I am just a child,
and I am just a fawn.
I am just a lamb,
and I am just a pawn.
I am just a petal,
and I am just a piglet.
I am just a pillow,
and I am just a twig.
I am just a cloud,
and I am just a dream.
I am just a candy,
and I am just a cream.
I am just a pebble,
and I am just a worm.
I am just the dirt,
and I will never learn.
and I am just a fawn.
I am just a lamb,
and I am just a pawn.
I am just a petal,
and I am just a piglet.
I am just a pillow,
and I am just a twig.
I am just a cloud,
and I am just a dream.
I am just a candy,
and I am just a cream.
I am just a pebble,
and I am just a worm.
I am just the dirt,
and I will never learn.
People are often familiar with the "fight or flight" response, but this poem, using metaphors, highlights some of the different ways people may experience the brain's fawn response. This includes regression, self-sacrifice, self-sexualization, dissociation, etc...
