A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 37

Day 37: “Stuck”


Grieving the living

Is its own kind of fuckery


A younger me

Remembers the good

The fun

And how to survive

How to placate

How to not cause problems


The older me

Has had the veil removed from my eyes

Knows the ways he affected me

Knows the pain

Can label the fear


But can hear his voice

Invalidating me

And the way he affected me

Making me the bad guy


But the scary part is

Part of me believes him
