My head

God damn what a scary place

Like a child’s nightmare

Even I try to escape

Surround myself with meaningless things

Always trying to stay busy

Distracting myself 

Hoping it would drown out the memeriors                   

Reminders of the past 

Full of venom

Ghosts that can't be tamed

But the walls of this old fortress are cracked

Riddled with holes 

Desingrating with time and abuse 

These walls don’t always protect anymore

These ghosts have began to sneak in 

But the holes aren’t big enough 

I can't sneak out.

These ghost 

Torture me 

With memories of the past
