Trauma Poems
Don't Touch Me
by Kelly Meddles
Any man's touch is now tainted in my eyes;
Anytime it's proposed a piece of me dies.
A man's touch is something I no longer can trust;
This is something best left not discussed.
The fear in me is real, that much you must see;
The panic will rise, that I can guarantee.
Never again will under a hand I melt;

My First Confession
by Kelly Meddles
You once grabbed me by the nape of my hair;
Forcing my head to kiss the wall - knocking my senses unaware.
I don't remember being stripped bare;
There was no time to prepare.
This memory haunts my soul;
I was taken of all control.
My own screams echoed in my ears;

Your eyes
by May Golda
Your eyes where like warmth.
Your eyes where like home.
Your eyes became pain.
Your eyes became torment.
Your eyes are like scares.
Yours eyes still remain.
Your I eyes, I do wish I could prick from my brain!

Growing Up
by kyra turner
When I was young
I didn’t know the difference
Between beer and root beer
Vodka and water,
But now I know
I know when i see
my dad drinking his
“Root Beer” or when
I see my step-mom
Mixing Dr.pepper with water

the man you pretended to be
by Kelly Meddles
Around others you held me close;
Told me I was the one you loved most.
Everything you said later revealed as a lie;
You always knew how to make me cry.
My last homecoming, you ruined that too;
The reason why, no one knew.
Once you'd ask it'd never end;
I should have known what you'd intend.
Others came, you quickly held me;
Oh, how easily you always fooled me.

the dark truth about you I tried to kill
by Kelly Meddles
You used to punch me in the breast;
You left me, always, feeling distressed.
You wished and hoped upon me cancer;
You never were a romancer.
You once strangled me on the ground;
You were different when others weren't around.
My pain always made you happy;

Devastation
by Julie Marshall
Your sweet words are like poison when I know what you seek
You are here for the superficial, for the beauty you think you see
although,
there is a devastation inside me that I could never explain, and
I can barely understand
