Trauma leaves wounds
on your heart and mind.
And sometimes it haunts you
and resurfaces – even in
the most minuscule ways.
Even if the wound has become a scar –
it will stay with you.
It impacts the way you perceive
yourself or others.
It can ruin you or make you grow.

My trauma is a part of me
but it doesn’t define who I am
unless I let it.
I can’t deny it.
But I won’t let it
control my life.
