Living in fear,
trying to survive,
choices made,
that can turn the tide
or cause a blaze,
Hell inside,
deep in my brain,
an underworld of hate,
memories that remind,
moments interrupted in time,
Seeing things, hearing the wind.
taking steps back, hesitating to venture
beyond the comfort that is temporary,
lost in the forest of darkness, struggling to make
sense of my feelings that have not yet ignited.
