Can't Undo

I can’t
Undo
What I’ve
Been through

Can’t un-see

What I’ve seen

Can’t un-hear

What I’ve heard

Can’t un-feel

What I’ve felt

Can’t un-live

What I’ve
Lived

And any healing
That has come
Has been the result
Of embracing
What I’ve survived

Maybe that’s why

I get so offended
By those
Who prefer
That I minimize
The impact

Who encourage

Me to
Keep hard feelings
Out of sight

Encouraging denial

At the cost
Of my survival

Encouraging me

To undo
What can’t be
Undone
