“FLASHBACKS”

DISCOVERED TODAY THAT THEY STILL REMAIN,

DOWN THE HALL ALL FILLING CELLS INSIDE OF MY BRAIN,

EACH CELL A MEMORY DOES CONTAIN,

AND EACH DAY A DIFFERENT PATH THEY FORCE ME TO WALK DOWN BETTER KNOW AS MEMORY LANE,

WORDS THAT I FEEL ON THE INSIDES OF MY MOUTH THAT I FIGHT TO RETAIN,

WORDS THAT COULD BE SAID I FIND HARD FROM TO REFRAIN,

THEN I FIND YOU ALL OVER AGAIN,

LEARNING NOW YOU NEVER LEFT – YOU ARE SELF CONTAINED,

YOU NEVER LEFT YOU JUST SIMPLY SELF SUSTAINED,

ASK MY EYES BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE RAIN,

THEY’VE CRIED RELENTLESSLY AS IF THEY WERE CAUGHT ON THE OUTER BANDS OF THE HURRICANE,

EACH DROP THAT HAS FALLEN CALLED OUT MY NAME,

FROM MY HEART ONTO MY SHIRT I COULD FEEL THE WEIGHT OF THE BLOODSTAINS,

COLD NIGHTS LEAD TO HEARTACHES I CAN SEE THROUGH MY SOUL PANE,

I CAN SEE LITTLE STILL REMAINS,

REMNANTS OF FURY AND HURT SILENTLY TO MYSELF I COMPLAIN,

MY WILDEST DREAMS ONCE THOUGHT I ATTAINED,

REBUTTED, RE-GROUPED,  STILL LEFT ALONE TO ASCERTAIN,

HARD TO FORMULATE INTO WORDS HOW I BECAME A PART OF THE FOOD CHAIN,

EXTREMELY TRIVIAL AND SO DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN,

ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE IS THE CLEAR REASON FOR ME GOING INSANE,

EASY TO COMPREHEND WHEN YOU SEE ALL HOPES GO UP IN FLAMES,

TO NO CONCLUSIONS YET HAVE I CAME,

FLUSTERED AT TIMES ABOUT THE TURNS IN LIFE I MADE SINCERELY ANGRY ABOUT WHAT I BECAME,

SWEAT STILL DRIPPIN, BUT CAN BE CONFUSED FOR TEARS JUST THE SAME,

SO MUCH STRAIN ON MY FRAME,

YET I’M STILL HERE SO THROUGH IT ALL I GUESS I’M BUILT TO MAINTAIN, 

LIVIN’ DAY TO DAY DOING MY BEST TO DIVORCE MYSELF FROM THIS GAME, 

SEVERE CONTUSIONS OF THE BRAIN, 

CAN IT BE THAT THE RESOLUTION IS SO SIMPLE AND PLAIN, 

JUST A BRIEF GLIMPSE INTO THE FLASHBACKS OF ALL MY PAIN .
