Healing and Damage Control

Fadilah
Feb 24, 2021

They say you have to face your trauma.

Bismillah.

I look at her

She looks at me

We stare.

‘I’m writing this piece to make peace

with myself and my past’

She laughs.

‘Take Number For-Crying-Out-Loud-When-Will-She-Understand-That-She-Has-To-Live-With-This?’

I understand that I fail to understand,

But I hope that one day I can.
