As our trauma is pathologized
Into attachment disorders
Dysphoric states
Polyvagal responses
Addictive self-medicating
Compensatory defenses
Our innocent desires
For love, light, and air
For deeply felt emotion
For organic experience
Are shaken and crushed
Over and over again
Instead of a child
With a broken heart
We are a programmed
System engineered by
Sadistic psychopaths so that
Even heartbreak is tainted
I will not have it.
Yes, they programmed me
But no, not all of me
Yes, my nerves react
But no, not all of me
They do not own me.
