Trauma tried to mold me
Hiding away I developed phobias
Shrinking into myself
He planted the layers of youth with deceit
While I held the truth
Dissociating and unfolding mentally
My clothes, my body felt foreign
His lips tried to instill shame
I'm weary and shy now living with anxiousness
Why did not anyone see this? I often ask why
Blinded and fooled or just ignored?
I want to be secure again and begin to heal
Seize the moment to have control
No longer a hostage in my own mind

Trauma tried to mold me
Hiding away I developed phobias
Shrinking into myself
He planted the layers of youth with deceit
While I held the truth
Dissociating and unfolding mentally
My clothes, my body felt foreign

Why did not anyone see this? I often ask why
Blinded and fooled or just ignored?
I want to be secure again and begin to heal
Seize the moment to have control
No longer a hostage in my own mind
