A Poem

Trauma is the spice of life

It’s what makes the mundane enjoyable

No matter how horrible

It’s better being here than there

A life without a little fear isn’t worth living

Some trauma makes you more giving

Others leave you in a shell that's hard to escape

But on the other side things can be pretty great

    Everyone wants a peaceful life. Not me. Give me diversity

  • Mundanity, on the other hand, is the ever-present gruel from which we pray to be released.
