It burns, throbs, aches and screams
I can’t shut it out, all those memories
But they can’t be real, they’re just dreams
They remain deep, worse than unsolved mysteries
The darkness never stops flashing
I try to shut down my mind
In a car, skidding, quaking and crashing
Alone, on the streets, left behind
STOP, I yell, LEAVE ME ALONE
I beg for someone to stop my insanity
The therapist before me replies in a sweet tone
“I hear you, I’m here if you need me.”
I’m being chased by my very sin
Red eyes, bristled fur, growling
A snake slithers up my skin
Dangers lurking, prowling
Sleepless nights, crying, trauma
I see death as pain starts to enthral
Aliens hunting me, unknown fauna
I can’t stop this, can’t stop it at all
