Super Triggered.....

Triggers

By: Erin

It seems triggers lurk in the shadows

Behind every corner

Ready to jump out and yell…

“Surprise!”

I get so tired of these awful dark things

Because triggers run to your side hang on and cling

Sometimes just for a moment fleeting by

Other times for much longer and we don’t know why

They change shape, color and form as we ourselves grow

And they always try to take your life and steal the show

That is why we must be bold

That is why we must stand our ground and refuse to be controlled

Triggers are a tool of darkness to pull us down

The ultimate goal of dark is to get us to drown

So this is what we do

I’m going to tell me, and I’m going to tell you

For right now I’m triggered beyond belief

But I will not let the darkness steal my night like a thief

When triggers jump out

We can one: shout shout shout

Exposure makes them run away fast

And then we feel much less harassed

We can two: fight with light

By calling on Jesus with all of our might

For he has faced temptation just like we have today

So let us talk to Him… pray pray pray

We can three: distract our minds with something good

Maybe a conversation with a friend that makes us feel understood

Loving, listening, laughing, and talking

Will send triggers running…. Or at least walking
