My Poetry

Flashback

Cries 

Screams 

You expect the noise but it doesn't come 

Soundless

It seems

Because you know it's there, you know what it's from

Explosion

Begun

Fire burning bright, you can feel the heat

Manic

Panic

And you try to run but obtain stone feet

Sudden

Terror

Here the feelings come, building deep inside

Fears

Dreams

Suddenly one in the same, they coincide

Another

Lie

Just another nightmare gripping tight

Flash

Back

To painful memories you have to fight

This was written earlier in September linked to 9/11, but really it's a description of shell-shock; anyone who's witnessed or experienced something like that, been in war.. Forever afterwards some of them are haunted by the memories, flash backs of the scariest moments of their lives.
