@Jynx 

I feel I'm spamming the thread... but whatever

 

To be within a flashback

Here let me explain

Your eyes they glaze over

A distance grows between

 

You hear the voices from the trauma

Your senses they ignite

Feeling every sensation

Like you’re right there right now

 

Every ounce of pain

As sharp as it ever was

You try to scream but can’t

No one can let you out

 

You see through your own eyes

To be living the nightmare again

Smell as if you’re there

Somehow teleported

 

Your life somehow transported

To the day, the hour it happened

You scream while in this flashback

Though you don’t hear your voice

 

You remain in your subconscious

Until the memory ends

You wake up out of breath

Trembling it’s that intense

 

Your body coming back

To this reality

Still you feel you’re silenced

No one to understand me

 

To remind yourself where you are

Come back into the present

Breathe into the moment

Let your body be at ease

 

To come through this flashback

To relive the hell again

Always unexpected

Never welcome

 

Until the next time something triggers

And your heart begins to race

Your throat begins to tighten

And your life feels out of place
