Ghosts
When I least expect, they show themselves
The ghosts that linger here
To rid of them is hard to do
For they live behind my fear
Many times I've tried to run
Each time they have found
A way to bring back yesterday
Then, once again, I'm bound
Just when I think I'm way ahead
They're never far behind
For they lurk in the darkest places
Deep inside my mind
The broken being I've become
Will one day be a whole
For these ghosts I will destroy
And retract the life they've stole
