Alpenglow Raevyn @landseasky.bsky.social · 11h#PTSD descends a fog worst events in my view my own emotion fears reaction my own slight shifting desire or attention others may perceive I may be trapped I want to run when all it was included invitation or to hear those things with fear of being seen I am afraid so so afraid #poetry 000
Alpenglow Raevyn @landseasky.bsky.social · 11hAvoid them Harass the one Whose presence Holds them Safe Now lure Pretend there’s care Where there was none Send soothing words As if to understand SNAP Release the spring They’re caught Will fight for you As you are such A poor poor thing How dare they Be safe Without you #vss365 #poetry 072

You have long been my light, remind me that I am made of magic & that stars burn inside me— even when I can no longer see them. #sensewrds 276 1247
Alpenglow Raevyn @landseasky.bsky.social · 21hI wish I could still run to you Feel safe within your arms Find solace In the slowness Of your breath I wish You could just come to me Like all those times before Find music in my voice A wholeness Safe Within a gaze #poetry 040
Alpenglow Raevyn @landseasky.bsky.social · 21hFear again I want to run I’m trapped I do not even know The cause of it Was it some feeling? Want for something else? Fearing how I’m seen? Of my own thoughts made manifest? My feelings heard aloud? How dare you feel! And think! I know They cannot see me Make me cower If I run #poetry #ptsd 040
Alpenglow Raevyn @landseasky.bsky.social · 21hExcitement At a work That I might do To soothe this ragged soul But no This mind can’t read Enough to see And so unwound The ball unravels So once again I wind up hope Instead It’s one more path Round and round To nowhere #poetry 050

Alpenglow Raevyn @landseasky.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Traumatic events Refuse to stop When they won’t keep Their dangers at bay Losing Loss Retreat to safety Too unwell Home is empty Even my children - I cannot tend them Even the treatments - Too dangerous When those around Won’t keep me safe From their own demons I walk away So alone #poetry #ptsd 080

My mind clears, becomes elated in the blurring between the worlds. #Poetry 0244

Alpenglow Raevyn @landseasky.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I choose madness Is it choice? To ride the skies? To flit between The layers of what’s real?

Alpenglow Raevyn @landseasky.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I assaulted him? How is the drunk one with established boundaries of no intimacy after alcohol the one at fault? Trauma established, rules made sober. He was in power and didn’t stop it. When a later assault was named, he claimed himself victim. Never admitted fault either time of course. #ptsd 140
