Paralysis, Resistance, and Defeat Projected

by rosa quintana

Picture

I sit in the angle of a dark room.
I hide very well, at least in my mind I do.
I am in a fetal position, trying to not let my legs
Come apart, because I don’t want them shaking,
If not, they will alert my presence.
I fear there is a tornado of what seem to be daggers,
Arrows and all types of sharp objects that can
Puncture my existence.
I try to understand how I got to this point.
A reel of memories comes alive on the wall.
My eyes shine like projectors and give away my location.
They have found me, I stumble getting up and oops,
IT IS TOO LATE…
