The point of no return

0 posted 2004-08-16 03:44 PM


All the good times I misplaced
lurking in recesses,
the abyssmal rings of my mind.
They're there, I know,
they can't be far.
I had them once before.
They're hiding with the smile,
the one I used to wear.
In the old closet collecting dust,
keeping twisted company.
All the masques I used to wear,
all lined up in rows.
Hiding the affliction
of
disjointed
incoherency
that shadows me all day.
And when I lie down at night
they all come out to play.
Singing schoolyard taunts at me
they echo all around.
Dancing rings around my bed,
I can't block out the sound.
I close my eyes,
shut them tight.
Now they're inside my head.
Flitting on my eye lids,
loud enough to wake the dead.
The only thing I think to do,
to get rid of this sound.
Is scream my lungs out through my throat,
but it seemse my voice is bound.
My mouth is gaping wide,
in a scream I cannot hear.
My eyes shot open, they're still there
sweat beads my head with fear.
Now I remember why I left
misplaced memories lie.

they lurk up eventually, no matter how far down you repress them.
dont hide from them
confront it
win
and grow

and i know this feeling

Yes, they lurk up eventually  It's one of the banes of my existence.  Had I the strength to confront them, however, I wouldn't be able to burden you all with my awful poetry!  ^_^

People like you are the reason people like me need therapy.

Or maybe it's not that I lack the strength to confront them, but that I lack the strength to win... *ponders and scurries off to write another poem*  And here I forgot I had a signature.
