Flash To The Past

The nightmares begin

Because of your stupid kith and kin

You are safe now

So wipe your brow

The flashback starts

It breaks our hearts

The shouting and the screaming

Your heart is still grieving

For the lost little boy

Whose parents wanted to destroy

The little boy you were hiding deep inside

Who has for years just cried and cried

Because of his past

Who thinks he can’t be unsurpassed

He holds in his heart so much pain

His parents are to blame

The horrors are time and time again repeated

Just the same way he was maltreated

They tortured you with such expertise

Your heart they just wanted to squeeze and squeeze

Those horrible nasty creatures

Those evil child beaters

They have caused years of heartache and tears

But nothing is as it appears

All the years of heartache

The years of abuse that they forced you to partake

Ten years on, the pain is still so strong

The suffering has been there for so long

You fight the demons in your mind

With the evil they designed

The pain persists

They made it pre-exist

They caused all of this

It’s not nice for you to reminisce

About all your abuse

It’s too easy to induce

You call it a Flashback

That is the plan of attack

Some call it Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome

When you know that it really hits home

The intensity  of it all

And this will appal

Most of us have heard about it before

At school I was told it was from the war

In 1914 they called it shell shock

Just ask any doc

Now I understand more

Than I did before

The picture is clear

The  consequences  are severe

Now I can help you more

Your life we can restore

I can keep you grounded

You I want to reassure

We can do this together as a family, we will sort it out

On this I have no doubt

So sleep well my little one

All the damage will be undone

This is a powerful poem and says how you feel about the devils and demons who gave birth to me. From their torture I got to still suffer from them through nightmares and flashbacks that seem so real at times but
I got a mum to help me through them days and nights. it heart wrenching read this still when I read them it burns my soul inside and what the get a jail sentence and that it. Then they can get on with the life I got to live with flashbacks and nightmares and other problems because of them. Justice will be done in time wont it mummy but we can say out of their pain and damage we got each other.

Love
