Happy, Haunted Past
When things where good the world was brighter.
The smiles are abundant and real.
Struggles come and made me a fighter.
The wounds they created would soon heal.
Now the world looks small and dull.
My head is filled with noise.
I pound upon my bleeding skull.
Try to remember my past joys.
A few years have come and gone,
With emptiness my eyes have been replaced.
I wait for the dawn.
With the world in all distaste,
I look within my past,
To try and find the point,
That in my hind harassed,
My total disappoint.
Where I lost my eyes of innocence,
Replaced with countless sins,
Consumed by violence,
With few personal wins.
Is this the world from now on?
A sad reality.
From this life I am withdrawn.
Within my abnormality,
Things use to be good.
Along time ago.
I wish I understood,
Why I lie below,
Alone in my room at last,
Memories are all I have,
Of my happy, haunted past.
Of which is never forgave.
