Walking Backwards By Chrissy McPhaul Shocking truth Disturbing dreams and Incandescent words Too scared to sleep And afraid to be alone Not sure where to go But I am running from something And I cannot get away Intriguing encounter Reviving old wounds Bottle rocket of misery And emotion suppressed Driving endlessly To erase the pain Of searing scars I see the corpse That is my past Crushing bones As I revisit Old stomping grounds Scorching my soul With fire from embers Smoldering with pain
