A simple word, a simple phrase,
can transport me back in a flash.
A sound, a voice, a smell
brings up painful memories in a dash.
Thoughts begin to flood my mind,
my heart begins to race.
Memories rush, emotions unfold,
reminding me of how I felt disgraced.
The past becomes the present,
and I lose my grip on what is real.
As the trigger holds me tight, releasing
feelings I don’t let myself feel.
Unprocessed painful emotions
buried deep inside me.
Rush to the surface of my heart,
in plain daylight, for all to see.
Within the darkness of my pain,
I seek to find the light.
That will free me from this prison,
and make everything alright.
I know I must face the fear
and the pain to truly heal.
To find the love and acceptance
my heart longs to feel.
