After trauma, where do we belong? If we think on it, we are dwelling in the past. If we ignore it, we are in denial. If we feel anger, we are self destructive. If we are bitter, we are unforgiving. If we are depressed, we are not trying. If we act happy, we don't need any help. If we cry, we are avoided. If we scream, others are afraid. If we are around people, we feel like outcasts. If we are alone, we want to associate with others. There is no place for us after trauma.

After Trauma
After trauma, where do we belong? If we think on it, we are dwelling in the past. If we ignore it, we are in denial. If we feel anger, we are self destructive. If we are bitter, we are unforgiving. If we are depressed, we are not trying. If we act happy, we don't need any help. If we cry, we are avoided. If we scream, others are afraid. If we are around people, we feel like outcasts. If we are alone, we want to associate with others. There is no place for us after trauma.
