Everyone loves fireworks
The colors are bright
They shimmer and sparkle
and light up the sky
Fireworks are for celebrations
For parties
And holidays
For idiotic fun
But the sounds
Booms and Bangs
Crackles and Pops
Worse than a gun
The waves reverberate
Throughout my soul
Shaking and Shaking
Dizzying the mind
Inflicting terror
Striking fear
Bang
Boom
Sizzling like bacon
Panic evolves
Rushing
Tearing through limbs
Shaking shaking
Memories
Nightmares
Bad dreams
Engulf my thoughts
Fill my consiousness
And the fleece blankets
Soft as baby alpaca
Blue like a noon sky
Secure me
And are darkened by my tears
Fireworks are for parties
For celebrating
For Fun
But fireworks
Awake old fears
