Trapped Inside
Poetry
Monday Prompt: When I felt scared or hurt, how did a parent address my emotions?
Tuesday Prompt: When something big happened in my home, was there open communication?

Emotions trapped inside a space of unrest smothered by those vowed to protect my being no lessons on how to express myself so I sat and internalized and buried them deep instead…
This poem was written from my childhood self in response to 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘊.’s Monday and Tuesday prompts.
Thank you for reading. And thank you 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘊. for creating the space so that we all can revisit stages in our lives, tell our stories, grow and heal. KTHT has been a rollercoaster, one that I don’t mind getting on.
