Patients with Power

A perhaps more significant complex traumatic stressor is behaviour patients are forced to endure from dismissive & psychologically abusive doctors. This is going to be a long one. /1 🧵 #neisvoid #complextrauma #medicalgaslighting #medsky #eds #pwme #pots #mcas #pwlc

At the door of my mind
Stands a militant sentry
Young and rebellious
No subscription to the gentry

She is always at the ready
From her brain's eye view
Prepared to strike swiftly
With the vitriol she spews

A threat to my heart
Is a threat to my life
Her sworn enemy injustice
She's a veteran of strife

Brutally malicious
Is her defensive style
Unmerciful and unrestrained
Condemning those deemed vile

A challenge to a death match
For ascribed societal systems
An enemy who comes with airs
Clearly has no wisdom

Every battle, life-or-death
This isn't for the thrill
My sentry does not come to play
This warrior aims to kill

A collage. On the left is a poem:

му ínner chíld is hiding today
I know the reason she's running away
I feel her pain, and I feel her fear
Little one senses them getting near

l'm the one who keeps her safe
But it hasn't always been the case
She didn't come away unscathed
From the dangerous instincts I've obeyed

I hope that she will trust me soon
I hope with time that I can prove
I'm here now to fill our cup
Ans it's okay for her to grow up

On the right is a photo of me in 1982, age 3, sitting in front of a garish couch of browns and oranges, and wearing yellow footie pajamas.

Death by Abandonment #poetry #motherwound #complextrauma #cptsd #abandonment #heartbreak

My chest cracked open Heart pumping, wildly out of rhythm Unstable, and ready to blow Hemorrhaging Mother wound, a gaping chasm She's not coming back She's not coming back She's not coming back She has to She has to She has to
He's
not
coming
back
He He
has has
to to

Complex trauma isn't about imperfect parenting. Every parent is imperfect. Every childhood is imperfec. Complex trauma is about a toxic blend of you-suck, you don't matter you+don't escape and .here-are-someway inappropriate experiences to cope with.

#poetry #trauma #cptsd #complextrauma #emotionalflashback #letgo

Let go of the past But how? When the past attacks Unexpectedly Memories and emotions From thin air Strangling Suffocating Bringing tears To parts of my body That can't even cry Agonizing angst All-encompassing Grabbing and squeezing Internally Paranoia Or is it? Crumpling my progress Like a vile first draft There can be no present Life cannot be lived Until the past Lets go of me
