Trigger Warning

Trigger Warning— ME

I get triggered by your trigger warning

when you write

“TW…food”.

You might as well write

“TW…breathing”.

Or

“TW… doing the dishes”.



My trauma ambushes me

whenever I’m reminded

how my enjoyment of snowflakes

falling from a winter sky

has been forever undermined.



Give me a safe space

free of the horror of your fragility.

Hold space for my indifference

to your delicate susceptibilities.



Or better yet, just go away.

Your special status has been revoked.
