Trauma
Intellectually, I was prepared
Psychologically, I felt prepared
Seeing the scars though
It is undeniable
Trauma
This feeling of recognizing trauma after the fact
Not seeing it coming, thinking I’m prepared when I’m not
This is the second time.
I have been largely inaccurate at predicting my own future
Yet I will predict with heaps of confidence
That these scars will heal more quickly
Will not leave a lasting mark
My dreams will not be forever occupied with this
The injustice of your trauma continues
Because you never think of me
While I’m often thinking of you.
Cancer is easy
Betrayal is hard
