What about the past holds our gaze?
Living here and now
Believing we’ve moved on
Images reappear
History is not erased
Body of pain, guilt and shame
Feelings from the past
Alive and well
Opening to ashes that reignite
A burning within
Wanting to escape the pain
Where is the damn delete button?
Thought the work was done
Processed
Trash Emptied
Life recycled

body of pain, guilt, and shame
I’m about to go to a reunion. the only reason I agreed was because I was afraid to go. and I
wanted the feeling of fear that rise in my stomach to go. Now I don’t go around fearing any things. I learn early anything that too upsetting to me I don’t think of it at all, but sometimes things come up.
