I can’t help it
When I get triggered
But I’m more aware now
And it helps with my reactions
You see when I get triggered
I take the step to breathe
When I do
It allows me to process
When I process
The past trauma comes up
And I remember that I’m no longer there
I’m in the present
In that moment I’m calm
I ask questions
And remember that I am safe
Because God is always with me
Matthew 28:20
