C-PTSD

The sun finally rose and filled my eyes

Bright blue finally glowed and filled my skies

The wind flows through my soul and sighs

Even though the night was long


I smile more

I see the open door

I feel like I did when I was four

Even though the voices were strong


I look back at where I once stood

I thought back then I never could

I wish I could hug me and tell her she would

Even though she’d scream I was wrong.


If someone asks me, “How are you?”

“You seem different, what did you do?”

I’ll say, “I’ve changed, I am, if only you knew.”

Now I sing a happier song.
