Memories I Want To Shed

I wish to shed the skin of yesterday

It has memories

Which I wish too forget, I tried to

Wash,

Cleanse,

Purify

So this time was purged, but I awaken

Each day having to once again,

Wash thoughts to not remember, I

Agonise,*

Tormented,

Convulsions

Shudder through my mind,

"I shed my skin each day"

"But"

Shadows still persist in the cracks

Each day my lucid thoughts

Encroached,

Invaded,

Plagued

With moments when I think I a free

But then milliseconds

It returns like a possession

My mind is withering

Will silence only set me free,

I have tried to shed my skin with each new day,

But this is never going to leave me,

Is silence the only way nothing

Perceived

Remembered

Coldness,

Is the only way to cleanse this

"Persistent memory away"

In silence there will no longer be thought

As I am free forever of that memory, buried within..
