the nightmares keep
me up at night
almost every night
in March
i get to relive
the trauma
over and over
that month
i awake feeling
my chest tight
stomach turning
counterclockwise
my mind focused
on that first night
why it all happened
what did i do wrong
i was just a child
i remind myself
as i *****
i hope one day
i like March again
like i did
when i was 6 years old
