Toxic

Hello USA. I'm home now :)

I know I shouldn't still be thinking about this,
but every once in a while
this faint image crawls back into my mind.
A leak,
seeping into my brain
amongst things I've thrown away.
I have a big dumpster in the back of my head
where I throw wasted, useless memories away and
hope they rot.
But I can never forget.

And now I'm worried.
What if this happens again,
but from a person I truly care about?
God, I can only wish with my whole self
that this never, ever happens.

My bubble of safety popped,
and now I'm completely exposed
with nowhere
to run
to hide
to escape.

Someone help me.
