Alternate Flashback

Flashbacks
But this time,
It’s so different.
Apples and trees
Different.

It’s a flashback,
But of an emotion.
Not an image
Or specific event.
But it feels like
A tsunami.

Trembling,
Forcing back tears,
Panicking,
Scared of what might happen
Next.

I’m a child again.
Innocent
And helpless,
I can’t find my voice
To tell them to stop
Because I’m so scared.

Scared of what it is
And what it could be.
I’m scarred from
What it had become
Before.
