Exhausted from this hurricane
of confusion and fear,
my mind has become stuck in reverse,
deep within the original trauma
that for years I had pushed away.
Hope is suddenly frozen,
as these fears unspoken
fill my mind,
and I burst into tears
as all of my dreams
come crashing to the floor once more.
You don't know
if you can make it through the night
when you face these fears unknown,
and as much as I want to,
I'm not going to promise
that I will be strong and survive,
because I know only too well
what fear can make you do,
and I don't want to make
false promises to you!
