Something went wrong
Something went wrong…
What I felt,
Happened so quickly,
The feelings of powerlessness,
Anxiety and disappointment,
What I saw,
I only have flashbacks,
It was so long ago,
The paintwork is tired,
Sometimes too bright and out of focus,
What I heard,
I tried to close my ears,
But somehow the muffled sounds came through,
What I smelt,
It is long gone now,
I’ve extinguished that part,
But my mind doesn’t seem to let go,
There are flashbacks,
But is it my mind playing tricks,
I thought I had let go,
But when I least expect it.
The pain comes rising back up,
Like a dolphin head emerging from the sea,
I didn’t know of these feelings,
There are so many,
Anger, disappointment, shame, loneliness and fear,
I didn’t expect this to happen,
But it has shaped a part of who I am,
What I do with all of this is up to me,
The path I undertake is destined by how I present myself,
How I mould myself,
How I present the emotions I feel,
It is a time of rebirth, shed the old skin,
It is a time to become a better me,
Shed away the past to create a brighter future.
