Some events throughout our lives
Have consequences
that
Reverberate
for years and years,
No matter
where we’re at.
A childhood
trauma or a jab
That cut us
to the quick,
Emotional or
physical;
A hurt that
seemed to stick.
Or else an
injury incurred
To leave a
lasting scar
Or the
remnants of an illness
Which hangs
on in ways bizarre.
There’s not
way to know just what
Will have a
permanent effect
And at times
we may react to what
We never
would suspect.
The only
thing that we can do
When looking
to the past
Is to
realize we are stuck for good
With what
the die has cast.
