curtains of my past

as I pull back the curtains,
my past comes flooding in
the pain, the misery, the grief
screams out and controls
every muscle in my body.

I try to pull the curtain back,
the fear of the past too much.
I find I cannot,
no matter how hard I pull.

my heart rate rising,
my palms sweating as my grip tightens,
desperate to hold on
before I collapse
the shadows sucking out my soul.

I can't move anymore,
and I'm slowly blacking out
as the torment continues to haunt
the cries for help
unheard.

the negativity
what was once blocked
by the shadow of a curtain
is now taking over.

hmm. what do you all think of this?
