Although I do try
To contain
These visions still protrude.
Left on me like a stain
Consume me like I am their food.
As flashbacks seep
From within me
Closure seems impossible to find.
Desperately longing to be set free
From this persistent slide show in my mind.

Although I do try
To contain
These visions still protrude.
Left on me like a stain
Consume me like I am their food.
As flashbacks seep
From within me
Closure seems impossible to find.
Desperately longing to be set free
From this persistent slide show in my mind.
