Aftershocks of mental anguish <br />submerge you into submission. <br />Turn yourself in as the culprit, <br />without your friends’ admonitions. <br /> <br />You wish you had the moment back <br />when faced with his proposition. <br />You wish your mind wasn’t impaired <br />when in his physical prison. <br /> <br />His reign of terror is the cause <br />of untreated combat fatigue. <br />You counter it with repression, <br />but despite efforts, you still bleed! <br /> <br />(March 26,2007)<br /><br />Michael Fischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aftermath-23/
