Trauma

Published on by Susi Bocks

our family rich with morbidities
of the mind, body, and soul
wondering which fate awaits me

inviting the punishment
for perceived past misdeeds
a self-flagellation of sorts

abuse hammered in
nailed to my psyche
hard to escape, even after years

wrenching free is the only hope
