I can't believe that this, 
This is what you compared to mine. 
  The family shame.
    When we were scared for our lives.
      And you say, it's over.
Ashamed by my weakness. 
No lingering pain.
Not in this moment. 
But wait
What about those clinging demons
Laughing in my sleep as we meet yet again
Hello, my enemy
Slithering, slobbering, tearing from the inside. 
This is the reality of trauma. 
It's a putrid cologne
It's the numb, careless life
The intrusive thoughts in a safe place

My feelings aren't yours to point and laugh at.

I'm not the person
To be in one place
I belong to no one
Least of all myself
I'm nothing
Forever
I'll shred my skin 
ninety
Hoping to reach the happy place 
poison and passion
