No matter how many times you try
The person you’re trying to reach no longer exists
Trauma changed things
The perspective you’re viewing the situation with is flawed
The image you’re viewing is just that: an image
The behaviour you’re viewing is a symptom
The cries you’re hearing for help don’t speak the full story
No one is reading between the lines
But yet, you’re expecting the same person on the other side
The same person that was there BEFORE the trauma happened
The same person that is now a shell of what they USED to be
The same person that is no longer there
Because what you SEE
Is something completely different than what is actually there
No matter how hard you try to reach the person that you THINK is there
You’ll keep coming up with an error message
