In the silence of my mind, darkest places unseen.
The parts of me I’d hidden away,
Hoping they would be forgotten.
Thinking they were no longer a part of me.
But no,, stronger still they stand;
Reaching for remembrance.

I long to be that me again,
Yet the darkness draws me near.
The parts of me that loved to hide,
No longer do I wish to forget.

I long for it to embrace me,
To take me back through the memories,
And to re-create me as I used to be.
