Arts and Crafts

Trying to piece together my past
Gluing together the fractured pieces
Hoping the memories will continue to last
Unlike the gaps existing in my mind

So come along together with me
And let's play arts and crafts
Distinguish the flashbacks I see
With what was really reality

Do I truly remember the words that were spoken?
Or is what I remember obscured by calamity?
I see visions of the past when I am awoken
Reliving the horrors my conscience has redacted

Arts and crafts to put myself back together
Turn me into your most painstaking project
As my chronology is scattered like the weather
And maybe one day I can be fully crafted again

But for now I still cry myself to sleep
Tears wilting up the paper sheets
As I drown abandoned in the deep
