Slaying Dragons

Long days gone hazy Maybe due to my crazy I see deep into my mind Where nobody else will find A place of memories gone so wild Some are of me as a child For these memories I don't care Back then life was not so fair Memories are the ghosts of the past None of them days went very fast Time does not heal These memories I feel Lost in the echoes of a childs tears At times ,I still feel my fears Who was the lost boy I see Can that truly be me Memories dimmed by times gone by At times I still feel the need to cry days best forgotten, my childhood Memories of a child that understood Love, even then ,meant pain Dragons ,his mind has long since slain Trying to bring peace to a child lost inside In my mind he still does reside Healing scars of a long wounded soul Finding peace the only goal bringing peace to the boy in my mind Maybe this memories left behind Will help the man, he is to be So that he too, will be free

this was such a honest and emotive write. Most of us struggle to heal "the child with in".
