I Cliche

I Cliche

A Poem by Gray Witch
"

Have you ever felt like you were a ....

"

I, Cliché

 

 

I feel like I’m a cliché.

Transference aside,

Toxic shame still resonating,

Disassociation prevails,

All these phrases so true.

Post Traumatic Stress

Rears its head.

 

Daily, I must fight

Shaking off the demons,

They follow me still.

Will I ever lay them to rest,

Like unpleasant memories?

Or, is it really me

That cannot let go.

 

Afraid that letting

 Loose of my past,

Will cause a response

An emotional collapse?

One I cannot survive

So I grip with white knuckles

Letting faith be my guide.
