My proudest work at the time of writing. About trauma, inspired by Bessel Van Der Kolk's 'The Body Keeps the Score'.

There's some challenges we just couldn't face.
So you may try to forget how you dealt with it.
Try so hard to forget..
So much that it keeps persisting.
Over time you may succeed.
That's just what time and effort does together.
You may even become an expert in forgeting.
Without realising.
Because you may forget, you were trying to forget.
You may become less aware of time and memory.
Eventually, you may forget who you are.
Why you were trying to forget that day.
And something nags at you from deep within.
Or from an unfamiliar yet familiar trigger,
The inside voice yells at you,
screaming at the top of its lungs,
"DO NOT FORGET!!!"
So loud that passerbys turn their heads,
But you can't hear a thing.
