Mental walls and intrusive thoughts

About putting up and accidentally knocking down mental walls, and also intrusive thoughts.

When your mental walls fall

They fall hard

Anything that was once a whisper

Turns into a roar 

Repressed memories 

Of things you have seen

Or things that couldn’t be

Suddenly forcing themselves into your conscious mind

They give absolutely no warning 

Before they sneak up from behind 

Going in for the kill

Of any good emotions you feel

Intruders in the form of intrusive thoughts

Flashbacks 

Panic attacks

It’s all in the mind

Or is it?

I particularly love both how you began and how you finished this, they both flow very well and really give the piece a beautiful poetic structure.
