Sparkling

October 28, 2024

I've been
abused tricked
betrayed
abandoned ostracized
hurt

This
is how trauma
is made
No matter what
anyone else says

I have trauma

I don't ask for pity
or admiration
I'm already
taking care of myself

For you see
Despite my trauma

I am still beautiful
I am still worthy
I am still enough
I am still sparkling
