The darkness invades the light
As the momories wash over me
I lose the strength to fight
It becomes obvious i will never be free
My memories are my deepest secrets
Forever inside me they shall dwell
Doing and saying nothing are my strongest regrets
For now i fear i will never break through this shell
How much longer can i hide my pain
My past continues to haunt my dreams
My attempts to forget have become so vain
As i awake from a terror and hold in the screams
I still feel their touch all over my skin
I walk around with my head hung low in shame
I should not have gone to a place i should not have been
It is my fault i will always be carrying this flame
My only way out was the scars that cover my arm
But now i must find a new way to stop myself from this fright
So instead of me causing myself more harm
I take a new turn, and i write.
It will never take away these momories or ease my soul
But as i write this from deep within my mind and heart
I hope and pray that one day i will reach my goal
And these memories will stop tearing me apart
