Pests

I'm a prisoner within my own mind.

What if's and Could have's swarm me

stinging me with situations that will never come into existence.

 

They nest within my hippocampus.

Their lies seeping through,

filling my thoughts with everything that never happened.

 

They feast upon my memories,

replacing them with sacs of false dreams and over thought.

If only I could exterminate these little monsters.

 

For once I'd like to be free within my own body.

But as long as they stay within me I shall never be free of their hold.
