Transforming Post Traumatic

 
Unlocking doors with your grassroots skeleton key
Your answer found in darkest moments
and fashioned into the brightest of shining lights

Knocking thrice below to clear the energy
Questioning glances and indignation still answer from self and from others

In doorways your tongue is as hot and sharp as a knife forged in fire
You cut through it like butter
 
Walking your road knowing that monsters hide in plain sight
Head held high
Building armor thick
Weaving the hides of ancestors that once had you hiding in a corner
Never again will you weep powerless
Your night is your sun
