When your surprised and not
When your shocked but not
When your confidence drops
When your self belief is questioned
When your very now is interrupted
When your tomorrow’s pain is becoming born
That later will be the very thing that holds you back
The scab you will later pick
The shit that you stir through
The stuff you talk through with a therapist
The narrative you will tell yourself forever
Did you even give me a second thought
The moment you left me with this ticking time-bomb
