Gaslit Warwounds – A Poem

Those things that cut you up

And spat you out

Those things that had you crying and screaming

On the bathroom floor

That had you talking motherfuckingshit

To your family

Taking for granted your friends

Those things that made you a hurricane

In a quiet living space

Those things that blew shit up

Ruffled feathers

Burnt bridges

Those things

That you believe

Made you a bad person

Actually made you brave

Actually made you courageous

Actually made you face who you are

And deal with your shit

Those things actually made you fearless

Fiery

A pioneer

Those things made you you

Don’t bad mouth those things.
