Like a frightened child
I trembled inside
Not knowing what to expect
Not knowing what I would find
With every breath
The fear grew
The undeniable feeling
That danger was lurking in every shadow
Would arrive on every breeze
My senses alert, my mind racing
All the questions
None with answers
The fear of the dismal past
The terror of the unknown future
What will it bring
Will it be nothing more than the past re lived
The pain and hurt brought back to the surface
The numbing past never far from my mind
Always there Always reminding me of a pain that never dies
