Strength Amidst The Darkness

In the depth of my soul, emotions stir, Sometimes, it happens, I start to infer, A rush of feelings, like lightning, ignite, When I get triggered, in that moment's light. The smallest things can set me ablaze, A comment, a glance, in so many ways, My heart races faster, my thoughts take flight, When I get triggered, in that moment's light. But I must remember, deep within, The power to choose, to heal, to begin, To understand my triggers, their source, their might, And find peace within, beyond that moment's light. For in self-awareness, I can find grace, To navigate triggers, find a serene space, To grow and to learn, to transcend the fight, When I get triggered, in that moment's light. So I strive to be mindful, as life unfolds, Embrace understanding, let compassion hold, For in my reactions, I just might, Discover the wisdom beyond that moment's light.
