I Haven't Felt This Way In A Long Time,
I Closed Up All Of My Bad Memories,
In "Boxes",
Tapped Them Shut,
And Kept Them In The Back Of My "Memory Closet"

It's Amazing,
How Old Ghosts,
Can Come Back To Haunt You

It's Amazing How One Word,
One Name,
Can Open Those Boxes,
And Put The Contents,
In Front Of You Again

No Matter How Hard I've Tried,
Tried To Look Away,
They Are There,
And I Can't Throw Them Away

I Feel Weak,
Those Memories,
Took My Strength Away

My Life Feels Like A Rose,
Beautiful Ontop,
Blooming,
Bright Red,
Happy,
Bright,
Nothing To Get In My Way

But The Bottom,
It's Full Of Thorns,
Ugly,
Hidden,
Waiting To Attack The Person Who Dares To Try To Pick Me,
It's Like A Wall

Few Know,
Or Ever Will Know,
Who I Am,
My Roots,
My Thoughts,
What I've Gained,
And What I've Lost

Now I Have To Find The Tape,
Carefully Tape Up Those Boxes,
Put Them Back,
And Hope They Will Never Be Opened Again
