"proces" poems
it has been over two years and i am proud of my growth. my main focus this year is to finish my grieving so that i may continue my life in an efficient manner.
the process of grieving is commonly known as, but not limited to:
denial
anger
bargaining
depression
acceptance
my denial proces:
many times the easiest way to get over trauma is to repress it. i was 15 when i was ra ped. legal age of consent is 16. he was 18. i was naive, and could not imagine the man i loved doing that to me. i believed that it was an accident and neither of us knew what was right or wrong. I had assumed that because i had previously given him my body, he was able to ignore my pleads to stop this time. i blamed myself more than i blamed him, and he blamed me. i had been so infatuated with him that i had pushed away the people who cared most about me. when i told them about being ***** our bond was already so far gone that they could not feel anything more than pitty. i was terrified of losing him, so i convinced us both it was an accident. ra pe is no accident.
through denial became anger:
i became genuinely angry for the first time in my life. i was angry at him for being somebody that i had trusted and loved. angry that i had let this happen to myself. angry that i had no strength nor respect to stand up for myself. if i had told him to stop one more time he would have. i understand now that i should not have had to say no more than once. i was angry because i let myself down, but I’m more angry that i could not blame him. being angry was the easiest part of grieving. it is okay to he angry.
bargaining is a toxic healing method:
i became really good at bargaining with myself. after he was gone i had begun to understand my emotions, but i could not control them. my fear of more being taken from me fed my overcompensation. i began to give my body away, so that it could not be taken. it was an unhealthy coping mechanism. my body is not meant to be given nor taken.
depression hit hard:
i began to reflect on all of the points in my life that had lead me to this one. i became close to restarting the grieving process. i spent a long portion of the depression stage in denial. then i was angry that i had backtracked to the beginning. i had more meaningless se x that i now regret more than anything. i saw how good his life had been going and how poorly mine was. it was obvious that i needed help.
acceptance:
this entire passage was my process to acceptance. i reached out to my therapist. i made new friends. i stopped wallowing in self pity and i began to recover. i stopped begging to forget my flaws and began to forgive them.

We pour out our hearts in our work
We ask for corective critic
Not a boastful ****
We give so much information
about who we are
Sometimes the subjects are
too sensitive by far
The writer may have
a hard time being objective
yet we want the reader to be subjected
Can you see through
the poet Eyes
the reason for the vivid
imagery wise
I benefit from knowing
your age
it assists
my thought proces,
as a gauge
Every ten years
a person changes 100%
Birth to ten, it is easy to see
Ten to twenty,
the mindset invincibility
I am six years
into my fifth life
lived, loved,
am a mother and wife,
happiness, anger, and Strife
The more we know
about the poet
Helps us understands
the poem as we know it
As we get older
we realize
how little we know
understanding
there's so much more
room to grow
So please fill out your bio age
and all the information you want to share
so we can review your poem with competent care

Det nytter alligevel ikke noget
At vride den sidste væde ud.
Lige meget hvor meget man gennembanker og forvrider
Vil der altid forblive et fugtigt spor
Tiden vil tørre
Men nutiden er for vandet
Til at kunne se den rigtige farve som blev forvrænget af tumulten.
Tørt og godt i en stund
Før man igen med jævne mellemrum
Gentager den samme
rituallignende proces
Som vasketøj der ikke vil tørre.

Whether it was his words
or the cold flake of wind, sent
to make a chill his spine descend.
His mind got divided in two different worlds.
As bumps arose upon his skin
he took the time to let the view in.
He looked too closely, too refined
in a way that every difference properly aligned.
Two friends in pink and red rehearsed
what they had read before he even had discovered
how this image of perfection frantically hovered
so far from his yawn and written cursed.
The cold did not emerge at once. The breath he throws
is visible and harmful though the proces slows.
