All I Can Do
Terrorized by day,
haunted by night.
These memories are killers
that you can't seem to fight.
Flashes of moments
too terrible to bare;
memories of torment
by one who didn't care.
Now, I suffer in silence,
too scared to say a word.
Afraid that they can't help,
even if they heard.
Too ashamed of myself
when the terror comes
so I do all I can do
to make myself feel numb.
How I wish that these
flashes would just go away
but instead, all day long,
I live with the horrors that play.
