Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A flash-back of childhood memories
Walk With Me.
: Help Me! by Shirley E Kennedy

I
Cannot
Remember
Why my brother
And I screamed until we
Were no longer able to make sound
Something frightening was the catalyst
Most likely a domestic violence attack
When my father's jealous rages flared up
We were locked in a dark cupboard
We covered our ears and cried     
Claustrophobic
I can't breathe

Help me
Now
 
 

Author Notes
These are confronting flash-backs from a domestic violence
family situation when I was very young.
Lack of punctuation is intentional.
