One Track Mind

Memories,
Trapped inside my brain.
I see them all the time,
Even when I'm not looking at them.
They randomly appear,
And they play over and over again
In some sick and twisted
Repetitious loop,
And it doesn't ever stop.
It won't stop.
I distract myself,
So maybe I can get a break from it all,
And regain my piece of mind again.
But it never works.
Those horrible memories
That I don't want to remember,
But I'll never forget,
And believe me,
I have tried to forget them.
There's things that only work for a little while,
That allow me a brief moment of bliss,
And freedom
From those painful memories,
But they always drift back
To this black hole
That I can never get out off.
I'm stuck
In a deep, dark pit
Of bad memories,
That won't ever leave me alone.
As quick as the bad memories happened,
I wish it was just that quick to forget them.
I don't want
To be burdened by these thoughts,
By these images,
That poison my whole existence.
I want them to stop.
I want them to go away.
I want to live again.
These memories are killing me.
Are they killing you?
