Written By: Paul Tristram
I cannot describe the ‘Un-Bear-Able’
PANIC…
it’s a Mountain
of unbelievable proportions…
my Soul is falling backwards,
inside itself, just in Recollecting.
I’ll never emerge
out the other side of TRAUMA…
yet I remember absolutely
Fearing the SHOCK wearing off.
When that came to pass,
it was fast, far too quick…
I immediately started to fit,
whilst screaming and vomiting…
the Clarity of what had ‘Happened’
was like a second
ATTACK!!!
I find ‘comfort’… nowhere,
in nothing… and when I am so
Low that I think of ‘forgiveness’…
I Hate myself even More than Them.
