EMOTIONAL CONFUSION

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M ON A SHORT CLIFF ABOUT TO FALL OVER.
NO WORDS COME OUT OF MY MOUTH, SO I LET MY TEARS DO ALL THE TALKING.

THE TEARS ROLLING DOWN MY FACE SAY A THOUSAND WORDS, AND MY EMOTIONS TAKE OVER ME. THEY EXPLODE AND SPEW OUT OF ME LIKE A VULCANIC ERUPTION.

I STILL GET NIGHTMARES AND NIGHT TERRORS WHERE MY SCREAMS WAKE ME UP.

IT'S A LOT EASIER TO FORGIVE THAN FORGET.
THE FEAR AND TRAUMA HAVE BEEN INJECTED INTO MY BLOODSTREAM, AND I'VE BEEN POISONED.

IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO MANAGE MY EMOTIONS. MY TRAUMA AND MY PAST HAVE BEEN EMBEDDED IN THE DEPTHS OF MY MIND.
