The gate has been closed
For what seemed like an eternity
The pressure building
Trying to break free
Memories rising
Hitting the edge of the mind
Finally the memories break free
Rushing through with such force
Nothing standing in its way
With each passing memory
Screaming to be free
So desperately wanting to escape
Raging
Like crashing waves
From flood waters rushing in
Breaking the banks of the rivers
Watching from deep inside
I collapse
Falling into the fetus position
Covering my ears
As each memory screams
With such a shrill
It’s piercing
Nearly breaking eardrums
Feeling the tears
Fear and pain
From deep within
Make me curl tighter
For nothing here I want to face
The pain is too much to bare
Drowning in such depths
Nowhere to escape
Trying to breathe
Reach for something
As I try to hide
Everything is rushing towards me
Trying to survive
Another attack
Before I begin to drown
