Memories
Memories, they frighten me
They put me in the time my mind breached
And failed to build a stronger wall
I don’t know myself at all
If I had courage, I could fly
I’d keep the dream in a hidden place
But I don’t have a grip on it
It’s here to tell me I am worthless
Memories, they silence me
They throw me into reclaimed thinking—
And fail to build a better bridge
So that I forfeit in it
Memories, they hold me down
With a grip so warm and vicious
I’m used to the hold; I won’t let go
But if I had courage, I’d free myself
