Poem
A memory came knocking On the forbidden door I had Locked it far away Reliving it no more A memory came knocking Musing in my head Rambling on, it did not stop So I wrote it down instead A memory was angry Living in my head Vexed and tumultuous It got me out of bed The room was filled with anger Curse words, fists, and fear My mother and my siblings Abuse and full of tear A memory came knocking It took me back to school My sadness overwhelming I acted like a fool A memory came knocking It left with it some dust At seventeen I had given up And started to self-destruct A memory came knocking The drink, the weed, and drugs All I was really searching for Were love, some care, and hugs A memory came knocking Surprised it was to see How life became my vice, How it took care of me A memory came knocking My mind now strong and sound Remembering with gratitude The love which I had found A memory came knocking I saw your lovely face My heart was never happier It has now found its place. A memory came knocking It found me on a beach Sipping a mojito with my " cockroach" Enjoying the Mexican heat No memory could hurt me I bolted back that door A peacefulness transcended I had gotten to the core The angry memory Never returned It met with its demise The damage it has left behind My youth has paid the price A memory came knocking I took it by the hand And slowly all the memories Started to disband A memory came knocking Retired it had found me Sitting on my swing With a brandy and a good cigar The birds began to sing. A memory came knocking Willing me to write A battle to be fought I took my pen to hand and off we went to war!
