Triggered

A poem by Ellie Hersey

I’ve been triggered

Do you think I was wrong for leaving my mum?

Do you think I was wrong for leaving her all alone?

Do you think I was wrong for cutting her out of my life?

Maybe there’s more to her story than I know

Maybe..

Ok but heres the voice of reason coming in here,

If she really cared about you

Truly,

Unconditionally,

Then she would be looking after you

Or at least trying anyway,

But she’s not doing that.

And she hasn’t been doing that for a long time.

You did the right thing walking away.

Questioning your decision when your’e depressed

Is just another sign that you’ve been abused.

Your’e not a bad person Ellie,

Your’e just trying not to be.

And thats ok.

Ok should be Ok.
