"there are whole blackouts in some of the years I have lived my therapist says our minds erase trusts to help us move on but every experience I've had it memorized in my flesh even if my mind forgets my body remembers
My body is a map of my life my body wears what it's been through
my body signals the alarms when it thinks danger is coming
and suddenly the hungry little demons from my past come raging out of my flesh
screaming
'Don't you forget about us
Don't you ever try to
Leave us behind again."
