In a college psychology class my professor told me about flashbacks. How these moments are defined by intense, vivid memories of a dramatic event in our past.
A camera broken face nervous
Shooting out pixels
Attempting to recreate your image
Hospital beds
No
Chemo dripped needles
No
Flat lined arms holding onto anything stable
Why
Now every doctor has the same voice
Each one of them presents themselves in forms of your death
When will the good memories come back?
At what point will my camera work again
The pictures I keep in my head are not the ones I want
This dark room is getting darker
Without producing new pictures
I need exposure
To the laugh you use to have
All I hear is your cough
A rippled wretched cacophony of cancer
Until then,
I choose to see you
In any way I can
To remind myself of your presence
Lost my mother due to cancer. Been having flashbacks that are not pleasant as of recently

I've been drowned
a wreck in the ocean
washed up
bruised
what seemed beyond repair
weakness stole me
strength claimed me back

Mold me into a better form of me than I was yesterday
Give me the power to love without reservation
Lay down blueprints of great decisions
A cooler side of the pillow
Someone getting up on the right side of the bed
Strength to care for more human than myself
Love yourself, but others more

Alright self all of this power resides in you
Stop asking for it
Take it and shape up
Make yourself the best self
You have seen thus far

How many opportunities
Do we miss
Because we're too afraid
To take the risk

The purpose of this day
Will be to own each second
As if it will never come again

For the time is now

Tomorrows clocks has stopped
Yesterdays clocks erased
Today's clocks are still moving

For the time is now

Do not let the ticks slip away
Tuck them into your present
Take a deep breathe

For the time is now

Ignorance is the gateway that will lead us to stupidity.
