Effects

I can not near a pastor be
it makes my stomach sick.
It reminds me all too well
of his devious tricks.

I can not hear of kind ministry
it gives me much distress.
It brings to my memory
the acting he did best.

I can not look at male blue eyes
it causes the desire to flee,
A flashback I am going to have
of looking into depravity.

I can not see one who looks like him
it brings me feelings of fear
It makes me start to panic
when I think of him too near.

I do not care if I go to sleep
it offers me no release.
In the nightmares sleep allows
the fight with him destroys my peace.
