Too Difficult Today...

For there is a stranger
in my scar...

...sensory overload...

...this life of paradox...

I feel the parallel...

this merger tries
to suffocate me...

these feelings...these memories
trapped inside of me...

you remind me of the past...
these feelings now I am not...

that was you...the way you were
not the way I am not

this reminder...the battles I have fought
to rise above...but which ever way you 
look at it these memories...

make us who we are...who we are
we hurt...

I will not allow this to control me...

this fight this fight I have to fight
alone...

It all seems to come apart -
when I am hit with sensory overload...
