My Demons

My Demons

A Poem by AshleyDeyPoetry
"

Flashbacks are demons.

"

We cannot control what we remember

Or how it still affects us

Long after the memory has passed

It manifests as dreams, as nightmares

Haunts your waking thoughts

As quick and painful flashbacks

Often triggered by such small, ridiculous things

While we cannot control it

We must ride it out

And learn how to live with the aftermath
