All four walls inch towards me in unison
In their lack of haste I’m tortured with anticipation
The air I struggle to inhale becomes thinner
My lungs burn as if I'm drowning underwater
The visual mentality causes my hands to shake in horrid fear
The thoughts are flooding back to me
I am feeling that feeling again
If you hold me close, I will push you away without hesitation
If you leave me here alone, I will yearn for your company
I want to scream words of pain and cry out in wretched anger
I want to throw things, breaks things, hit things, anything, to make it go away
I am feeling that feeling again...
Somehow I find myself lost in this place;
As I fight myself for my own freedom
Wanting more than anything to just be at peace with myself for once
The evil spirits of my childhood haunt me with past nightmares
A video reel projects from my eyes and lays before me
and I am afraid of my own mind
My fear and hurting seems to have taken control over me
And no matter how far I run
I cannot escape myself.

Description:
I have had a lot of things happen to me in my childhood that still haunts me now...it wasn't that long ago but long enough you would think I could forget; but I can not. I will have the memories locked inside my mind WAY in the back and feel happy for a while...then out of nowhere usually at night the memories swallow my mind whole and attack me. I have twinges of depression, and serious anxiety issues. This poem lightly describes the feeling I get when everything comes back to me.
