I know you’re feeling angry
I know your feeling resigned
The coping strategy you use
A pain free solution you will never find
My heart breaks every time I see
The struggle you will not address
It’s from a trauma in childhood
Not any evil demon that you possess
You are held captive
In a prison of your own mind
You are both the prisoner and the jailer
That will punish you every single time
I’ve done the research, I’ve learned my boundaries
But for you, I will not give up, I will not fail
With knowledge there is responsibility
This commitment to heal will not stale
When others have given up
When you found yourself betrayed
Your family members were scattered
And now you drift alone afraid
I understand your shame and fear
A secure attachment of somebody like me
I understand you’re avoidant tendencies
This is something I can clearly see 
In my initial anxious attachment
I have grown into one that is secure
This trauma bond, I now understand
With self reflection and counseling, there is a cure
I walk a precarious edge of a razor
Knowing my empathy couples with self sacrifice
I tread upon this boundary
Knowing full well, what is the emotional cost and price
You may ask me why the emotional fortitude
In my experience of abandonment and shame, I find the grace
However, it may lead
I will always find my faith
