Essence

Writer's picture: M. Renae DuboisM. Renae Dubois



I’m not traumatised by being

A person who has felt trauma

I have painful memories, yes I do

But the trauma is not circular

I can deal with being a woman

Who has possibly felt too much

I try to write about it

In a way with healing touch

I write poetry that's positive

I try not to fully wallow

In the pain that has been real at times

Laying grief out feels too hollow

Noone wants to hear that

That irksome trauma dump

If you want to write sbout it

Then try to give some hope

Its not always a darkened sky

Lifes not always so cruel

I can utilise some learned ideas

Like using gratitude as a too

lI tell my story to make sense

Of everything I've been through

I wouldnt waste my time describing

How it felt to lose you

Not unless I add an end

A plan to work it out

Or a different view to see the fact

That I actually scaled the mount

Cos my poetry is an essence

Of who I truly am

I write to make it clear to those

Who would sacrifice the lamb

The lawyers and the doctors

Who thought that they could test

Who I am and what I meant

Aftef I hit my head

But in explaining myself in poetry

I actually found some secrets

Things of myself I didn't know

That amuse and make me gorgeous

Im going to keep on rhyming

Im going to keep the rhythm

Expressing myself in poetry

Feels like seeing through a prism

So many factors to consider

So many points of view

Really its the way to help

Me and my friends too
