I remember,
How everything was a pure shade of black.
How I never wanted to open my sealed eyes.

I remember,
The pitch and volume of tortured screams.
The feeling of suffering that suffocated me.

I remember,
All the times I let it happen without a word.
How I looked away and tried to ignore the pain.

I remember,
The pain & sorrow that built of from the drunken abuse.
The feelings that were trapped that pleaded to be spoken.

I remember,
Those days that have left me and no longer haunt me.
I have moved on from those days and now I can live again.

I remember,
That if it were not for these moments.
I would not be who I am today.

I remember,
I would never change my past…

For anything…
