no shots fired back

only words

They call them triggers

Because they fire like bullets

And most will aim and shoot

Directly at you

As if you are the reason

For their wound,

Their unhealed scar

Their compassion

Or awareness, that’s

Below par.

The lower they crawl,

The sharper their aim

Don’t hang around to engage

One they are rattled

Run away

Without guilt,

Move on with your day

And pray for them

That they find their way
