I felt wrong
i felt exposed
but i was curled in a ball
defensive
letting memories of stupid things
spear my brain
my heart
i can't undo the past
but i can swell on it
anything good
that is dredged up
from the pool of my
thoughts
is quickly pushed sternly
back down
now is not the time
to think
of them
i must focus only on my
faults
for reasons beyond me
but reasons never the less
there
i want closure
on that old life
to start anew
to be reborn
into this world
with all my thoughts
with me
but for now the
harsh thoughts
penetrate my skin
it is soft
easily broken
easily torn
quick to bruise and
blacken
i felt wrong
