How I feel!
Flashbacks coming thick and fast,
Painful memories from the past.
Sensations, touches I can feel,
Every little bit, seems so real!
Why is the pain inside so deep?
Why do these horrible memories I keep?
How can I make them a thing of the past?
Why for so many years, do they last?
Some tell me it helps to talk them through,
I've tried that often, I'm telling you!
But! all it does, is make me cry,
No matter just how much I try.
But! The memories come, the pain is real,
I know this now, because it's how I feel!.
