there it is again
another memory away
nothing ever happened
but my mind will make it
I guess it wants to prepare
for every single scenario
so it tortures me with thoughts
images of what could happen
more people hurting me
it hurts myself
and makes me afraid
but a part of me knows
my mind just wants to know
what it can do next time.

What you describe is common to people that have suffered significant trauma. These echoes of the past bring back old memories. A haunting write.
it's good to hear it's common, but also tragic. thank you so much for reading and commenting.
This explores the intense emotional toll of overthinking, amazingly showing how the mind can torture itself with possibilities, even when nothing has actually happened. It reflects the paradox of wanting to prepare for the worst while being weighed down by fear and self-doubt. I can deeply relate to the vulnerability and rawness of these emotions, which come through so clearly in just a few lines.
To say I'm sorry and thank you both at once hurts my heart and brings me hope. thank you for reading
BRAVO
thank you so much!
You're welcome
I have been in this situation and even now it happens sometimes, where your mind will not rest and it relieves everything over and over again, verbally kicking yourself to death in your head. This of course then creates self doubt, suspicion, fear, anger and so on, and the constant expectation of the worst possible outcome, the cycle goes on. The only thing i can say it does get better, which is not much help when you dealing with it, but it does, well written verse. take care
yes, thank you
You are very welcome
