Time Heals All Wounds?

Photo by Joanne Guillard

I tried to hide my pain

Until it became too much to bear

Just passing through daily mistakes

Feeling ashamed of my past deeds

Flickering memories woke up an urge in me

That can be my undoing

Came so close

My heart wants to let go

But my mind is holding on

Longing for buried truth

Buried so deep

These issues that I keep

The dark clouds storming in

Haunting me

I became like a chameleon

Changing my identity through each scene

Blending in just to feel numb

Dreams that haunt me

Is like a child searching for a treasure

Unwanted advances follow me everywhere I go

Misunderstanding and assumptions

It gets harder to uncover

The innocent is lost and broken down until it becomes normal

Broken pieces get harder to find

The truth that I rely on

Spending years looking for that peace

From these chains that I carry
