My safety net
My escape isn't a place
It's a personMy husband
My confidantThe person I go to when it's bad again
When I feel like I'm too deep in the Ocean
From the weight of my trauma drowning meMy keeper of secrets
The trauma not a lot of people know
Especially some of my familyIt's been years since I felt truly safe
To tell someone other than trusted family.
Four years and 2 months is when I felt safe
To bring the wall down
To open the cage
Be vulnerable
Be able to start being my authentic self
