Returning
Of silence and fear
A childhood forgotten,
Memories buried deep through the years.
A house full of darkness
Silent screams breaking through,
Memories or forgotten dreams,
Not knowing which ones ring true.
Retracing footsteps
of an innocence now lost
So afraid of reliving it at any cost.
So much anger bottled up
Fighting the temptation to let it out,
to create an avalanche
or live with so much doubt.
To never feeling worthy,
Feeling guilty for every smile,
Punishing myself for any happiness
That came within a mile.
I stand here now because of you,
In someways still a child,
You stole my sense of worth
You darken my mind.
Notes
I consider myself to be a intermediate poet.

Wow, that's really intense. The emotional conflict is very clear, and reveals how trauma can still affect us after years. Thank you for sharing this very personal piece.

Powerful poem Aishlinn. Can feel the emotion here for sure. Always good to have ways to release the tension. Writing works for me and hope it is same for you too. So much time goes by that it seems asinine to bring it all up again and we become frozen in that moment. I feel you me'dears, this is great work. Peace x
