Triggers everywhere,
They’re all around me.
I am being consumed,
Enveloped, engulfed by the horrors around me;
The darkness overwhelms me;
I am falling through blackness,
Shadows around me, souls surround me;
My mind races;
My gut squirms and tightens;
Bad feelings, perilous thoughts;
Don’t know where to turn;
Completely constricted, silently suffocated;
Coils around my lungs tightening with your every word,
Your every breath;
You are the trigger of my figurative gun
And because of you, the two become one.

Sometimes it is best to take space from everyone, even if they are our best friends.
