The Memories

Thoughts and memories tend to rule our lives.

They are coming after me.
I try to hide,
but they always find me.
Even in the darkest corner,
I am not safe.
The thoughts of what they would do to me nearly drive me insane.
I am not afraid of them,
I am terrified of them.
I don't know what to do.
How do I escape them?
How do I free myself of them for good?
They have found a way to tear at my heart.
A way to enter my mind.
If they find me,
I'll be forever doomed.
I can't allow them, the memories of my past, to break my soul.
