An original poem
Reading, writing, and photoshopping by me

Shards of the past,
embedded like shrapnel in my mind.
Nerves stand on edge waiting
for the slightest touch
to trigger their torrent.
Overwhelming my fragile facade
and pulling me back
into another time,
when I thought that maybe
it could be.

From my poetry album, just a few simple words
