Mental

Mental Frightening triggers to flood; No engulf my mind, my body, and then my soul! 

 Deep dark, forever following... Never-ending maze of despair! 

 Things scarier than a brutal death. 

 Things that make your worst nightmares seem like child's play! 

 Haunting memories, never forgotten I try so hard to bury it all. 

 But they flood up my mind as though they're a crested river. 

 Unable to speak, my anguish, when the words reach the tip of my tongue it makes all the pain, torment, and loss once again a reality.  

Some say I've gone mad. 

 Others say I'm so filled with hurt it makes me forever sad. 

 I try to force a smile, merely a teardrop falls in its place. 

 I know there is a hell, of repetition, torture; rinse, and repeat. 

 Hell, hath no fury, Fury would result in a quick demise, an end to this suffering... Now burnt into ash left without a trace.
