Trauma (Modified) (poem) by Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed (Eagle Of Hope) on AuthorsDen

I work with a mental health agency and we experience what this poem describes every day. People are suspecious of everything. If asked about their emotional mental problems, they think that they would be injected with poison or medication to make them crazy. If they are left alone, they are sleepless, powerless, hopeless. If they are interviewed in their homes, they feel provoked. If a diagnostic assessment is done at a doctor's office, they think they are being taken hostage. It is as complex as Abdinoor described it. Bravo brother

"Trauma (Modified)"

Abdi-Noor your penning shines through like a knight in shining amour. "Trauma...." is painfully beautiful and yet I understand the traumatic way that you must feel. Your construction and title was absolutely befitting of the emotional impact this poem relays and gives, true arrows to the heart is what it is.

Wishing you wholeness and peace in your heart,
~Gwendolyn

The only way to go over that emotional quick sands is to have a true friend, a trusted one that both can confide to each other, and help the wounds to heal, the nightmares to vanish,and the certainty of a heart in mending to take over.
