145: How Do I Explain This Feeling?
How do I explain this feeling?
The one that comes unwilling,
The kind that divides my mind,
And puts my words into a bind?
How do I explain this feeling?
The one that sends me reeling,
The kind that crushes my hope,
And leads me straight to dope?
How do I explain this feeling?
The one that is not appealing,
The kind that drags on all night,
And makes my personalities fight?
How do I explain this feeling?
The one that wants concealing,
The kind that highlights my shame,
And forces me to take the blame?
How do I explain this feeling?
The one that reminds me of squealing,
The kind that is on repeat,
And reminds me of my defeat?
How do I explain this feeling?
The one that leaves me milling,
The kind that takes away my aim,
And leaves my full of pain?
How do I explain this feeling?

As a response to trauma, we may dissociate. This is a defence mechanism, one that keeps us safe from the terrors of the moment. It blocks us off from reality and keeps us safe. Unfortunately, this process can run rampant, triggering itself in times of safety and peace, leaving us confused and unable to understand what is happening or explain it to ourselves or others.
In this episode I read and dissect my poem ‘How Do I Explain This Feeling’.
