Trapped Inside A Flashback

Okay the sense I get from the first stanza is that it's night and you are afraid to sleep because of nightmares. I like how you say "stare into demons" because that tells me you seem to be lost in thought. Emotions are very difficult to deal with a lot of times because you cannot control them. So if you feel sadness for example it is overwhelming. The past (you talk about) is becoming your present once again and there is nothing you can do. You are frozen with fear when you have to relive everything again. I can see this as a post traumatic stress disorder feeling. Though it is a flash back it feels like you just went through the pain in days (though it might have been years ago). You did such a great job pulling the reader into the poem well. The imagery is vivid in that way. Beautiful but very sad write.

We all have memories whether good or bad and at times they will haunt us especially at night when everything is resting. Don't let that evil spirit break you, it is going to be ok

This is a great poem saffie it seems that you are thinking of past events that have happen in your life and they scary you to the point where you can't sleep very good and raw emotion the part about the demons is good but then while you are thinking of this it feels like you can't move and you can go asleep but the flashback is still there this is awesome poem always peace&love midnight sky
