Holding back

Location

Inside, around, behind

what's in my mind?

Flashbacks

tons of flashbacks.

I wiggle, I scream

hes too mean.

I can't get away

but you think I did it to 

myself.

 

I struggle for air

just breathe in 

and out.

Its not fair,

my mind goes in circles

yet blank wandering into

space.

 

Breathe in 

four seconds

Hold it

seven seconds

let it out

eight seconds

flashbacks

they pass.
