Fright in the light

By imfine

I see the road ahead
We turn and I feel frozen
Nightmares while I wake
Memories are flooding me
Of my screams and pain

As I look around at the familiar
I feel like I am drowning
Forced to sit there and relive it all
As I look each direction 
It plays out in my mind

There were things I lost
Things I had to give up
And so many things taken from me
I left so much of me in that town
Things that will never be found

I hate going back there
But I know it will happen
Will these frights in the light
Always be there
Or will they finally go away

It has been 8 years
Since my escape
And yet sometimes
I still feel trapped there
Never able to fully leave
