There are days I feel like I'm healed
Then those little reminders happen
Events that happened many moons ago
The pain...
The suffering...
Will it ever end?
Will one simple gesture trigger me into a flashback?
Again out of the blue?
No warning
I thought I was healed
Taken aback in a flash of lightning
Back to that moment in my mind
I'm hyper ventilating
It feels real as if it just happened
It passed quickly
Thanks to coping skills
From the years of therapy
Is healing just having to cope with the memories?
I wish I could erase the trauma from many moons ago
Slowly healing to feel like me again
