No Place Left
The thing about
Being traumatized
Like riding upside
Down in a carnival ride
Literally takes
Your breath away
Messes with your mind
Certainly not a game to play
Leaves you with
An internal ugly picture
That life is not a
Permanent fixture
The excruciating
Physical and mental pain
What in the world
Does someone have to gain
Then you realize you
Are a victim of their anger
Now your life is in
Overwhelming danger
Hard for any adult
To ever live with
Much less an innocent child
To ever overcome this
You wind up a
Punching bag robot
Your heart mind and
All tied in a knot
You lose that precious
Ability to ever feel
Your mind plays it back
And you realize it is real
It constantly goes back
And forth through your mind
Again you realize its your
Heart you may never find
The anger begins to build
Deep within your soul
Then it dawns on you the only
Thing left is a deep dark hole
You start to do things
That make absolutely no sense
Then you begin asking yourself
Am I really that dense
The flashbacks refuse
To cut you loose
Then appears that question
Is it time for a noose
As sad as that may seem
It happens everyday
People trying to fight off
The fact they have lost their way
So if you see someone struggling
Afraid to look you in the face
Tell them to call on Jesus and
Let him set the pace
