Day 179: Trigger

triggers are, well triggering.

the emotions a trigger evokes can create a filter

that shifts one’s sight.

these emotions can inspire blame

when perhaps it was simply a mirror that was

inadvertently held up.

i’m sorry sweet child for holding that mirror.

i want to reach out and hold your hand and

rub healing salve on your heart but

what you see in me is the trauma that i

awoke in you.

maybe another time. or maybe

not.
