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
