What Trauma does....

Sometimes I've experienced moments,  when I felt so very afraid;
And I became the victim,  of my old memories  being displayed.
Unable to erase the images from those visions that would  appear
I  would become a prisoner to that period that produced such fear

It's not a  pleasant feeling when I recall all those painful years
It leaves my spirit shaking while my eyes overflow with  tears
The reality of the trauma that has happened some time ago
Keeps coming back to my memory and disturbs me with its show.

Have you ever known such moments, such terrible flashes of fear
When the past becomes your present and the present is nowhere near?
IF so,  you are quite normal, for trauma affects us all this way
It keeps the scars from healing and the past becomes our today.
