Triggers sometimes feel like hidden landmines,

Exploding chaotically inside of me,

After a seemingly innocent step.

When I thought the land was clear,

I blew straight into the ground,

Flailing for a sense of stability.

Thoughts spiral,

Twisting my mind,

Trapping me in a labyrinth.

There’s no way out.

I can’t breathe.

I’m stuck here forever.

– BOOM –

Triggers encase you,

In old patterns,

In old moments.

When in a labyrinth of mirrors,

Caged by your flaws,

Don’t run away.

Face yourself.
