This poem is about someone who has experienced a traumatic event or events in their life and has repressed their memories of it. However, at some point, they are triggered by something, and their memories resurface, causing them to feel overwhelmed and helpless. This poem tries to capture their emotions and struggles.


I buried the pain deep inside

I locked away the memories

I thought I could escape the past

I thought I could be free

But then one day it all came back

The flashbacks and the nightmares

The voices and the faces

The guilt and the despair

I couldn't cope with the truth

I couldn't face the reality

I felt like I was drowning

I felt like I was trapped

Now I don't know what to do

Now I don't know who to trust

Now I don't know how to heal

Now I don't know how to live.
