Trauma-based mind control, a dark art

Used to manipulate, tear apart

Cognitive processes, emotional states.

Behaviors altered, like a puppet’s fate

Extreme trauma,  the tool of choice

To silence voices, muffle the noise

Of all who resist, who dare to speak

Their minds & bodies, are now so weak.

Memories shattered, fragmented & lost.

A mind now controlled, at any cost.

Emotions manipulated, like a puppet on strings.

Behaviors altered, to do unspeakable things.

But there is hope, for those who suffer

To break the chains, to find each other

To heal the wounds, & reclaim their power

To rise above, and bloom like a flower.

Trauma-based mind control, a cruel game

But with integration & understanding we can reclaim

Our minds

Our souls

Our lives anew

Break the chains, of what they put us through.
