Some moments I am here, In the present time, But other times I flash back, Without no reason or rhyme. Sometimes I can see so vividly, The traumas of my life. And sometimes I find myself once again, Holding a knife. In these moments there are times I freeze, Like I have seen a ghost. How could I possibly forget, About the ones I love the most. My past holds many demons, Some I have yet to face. I just wish there was something, To make these memories erase. I was a victim of bullying, Of ****** assault, domestic violence and **** A girl who had to grow up fast to help take care of her family. I put so much into every bit of work I have ever done, trying to forget the pain of my past. But parts of it always seem to show back up and shake me until I can't breathe. I have lost who I am and I'm trying so hard to find her. But one thing I do know I am is a mother and partner, and I can't let my past beat me. But easier said than done. I will continue to fight everyday and hopefully make peace with my demons. But until then this is my life. Living with PTSD
