A mental health condition triggered by experiencing or seeing a terrifying event. (Repeat)

Recent studies have shown that PTSD is not necessarily triggered by a single event

Apparently an accumulation of small traumatic experiences can have the same effect

So what qualifies as a small traumatic experience?

What qualifies as an acceptable response from a trigger? A Trigger

A Trigger, I wonder if the thought of a trigger is enough.

I wonder if the thought of the trigger of a gun instead of a taser is enough

I wonder if the thought of a trigger that leads to the fear of a trigger to your head is enough

I wonder is the thought of not being able to trust those that carry around triggers is enough

It’s enough to make us paranoid

Which is a symptom of PTSD, isn’t it?

Tell me, how many small traumas do we need?

How many triggered shots does it take to get to the center of our souls?

I wonder if always feeling self-conscious because you worry that they won’t think you are enough is enough

I wonder if worrying about not getting the job because your hair is nappy, I mean coarse, I mean of course, it’s enough

I wonder if being self-conscious of your facial hair, tone of voice, resting face, final resting place, vocabulary, compliance, opinion on riots, and acceptance of manifest destiny is enough

Tell me, do you experience these thoughts every day like I do?

How many triggered shots does it take to get to the center of my psyche?

I wonder if seeing yourself portrayed as a thug is enough

I wonder if them not understanding and them saying you are crazy for feeling marginalized is enough

I wonder if you developing low self-esteem because the world is too blind to know your golden history, so they tell you your people have never amounted is enough

I wonder is being told to lift your shirt so a club bouncer can make sure your pants aren’t sagging because they don’t allow that type of Black in here is enough

I wonder if not being allowed in your building because you don’t quite look like you should live there is enough

I wonder if being told you are smart for a Black guy, or well spoken for a Black guy, or cute for a Black girl is enough

I wonder if a day in my shoes is enough

I wonder if Fox News is enough

Is it enough? Is it enough? When is it enough?  Enough Enough Enough!!!

What is enough to be a small traumatic experience? 

What is an acceptable response to a Trigger? 

A Trigger, I wonder if the thought of a trigger is Enough.
