Erin Murphy Poet Rhyme

Plagued by Memories

I am plagued by memories
  My eyes have seen things I will never un-see
  I am plagued by thoughts that my mind continually harbors
  Stuck in my mind, a prisoner in her quarters
  I’m outside looking in
  The farmer should’ve kept the healthy hen
  But he let her run away
  So I am plagued by memories
  The person I used to be
  I should’ve kept who I was
  But I had to go and mess it up
  I cut my own brakes
  Now I go and make every mistake
  I have done and said things that I can never take back
  I put the own knife in my back
  I am reminded of who I was
  Would it be better if I was always like this?
  Would it be better if I had nothing to miss?
  But alas, I am plagued by memories
