Triggered
/I cannot whisper
The words I wish to scream
Tears fall
At the precipice of silence
Unmoving internal chaos
Catatonic rage
Memories of the present
Give way to realities of the past
All again
All at once
Visions flash
To the beat of the body’s rocking
The internal observer
Watches helpless
Why can’t you see I’m suffering?
Don’t you dare touch me
Thank god
For Valium
