My worst enemy

Is my memory...

Like the breath of the wind

It passes by

But...the trauma...

...stays behind...

I didn't ask for this

To be grabbed by my wrists

Given no choice

But to silence my voice

I did not ask for my mind to repaint those pictures

Or my eyes to see my blood pouring out like a pitcher

I'm drowning...

In the tears of my memories

...Please...save from me from this inevitability...

I could bawl for hours, and lose my breath

All the while, they'll think I'm just a...

..."Dramatic Princess"...

Of course they don't understand, how could they...?

They don't know what it's like to lose faith...

To believe that life...is a lie...

And Hell is their home...

To be The Grim Reaper, the one that owns souls...

They wouldn't know...

...how it feels to be a toy...to wake up every day to a bad voice...

Of course, I can't blame them...why should I...?

I can't erase my past...

Or these stained, dried cries...

It doesn't matter...does it...?

Because no matter what...

The doors of my emotions, I can shut...

...maybe that's why...my worst enemy...

...is my undying...memory...
