Xoliswa Maduna Poet ABC

Traumatized

It keeps on playing in my head like a record put on repeat
I'm failing to forget about it
How hard can it be to just close my eyes
And not see anything
How hard can it be to just sit alone with my thoughts
And not remember anything

I'm traumatized
A memory to keep for the rest of my life
If only I had a way to forget
I just wish to delete the memory
And act like it never existed
A memory that teats me apart every minute
A memory never forgotten
Oh Lord please take my soul

Sunrise a rhythm of hope arise and hide my shadows
Make me happy again
Trauma!Trauma! Why can't you just leave me alone
I don't need you in my life
You slowly murdering me
Please remove yourself
Because it feels like I'm dead
Deep inside I have nothing
It's just a cover outside that makes me seem alive

A mask for people to see 
I'M NOT HAPPY

Treasure Nkosi February 19, 2017 at 2:05 PM A very emotional poem right there, is it inspired by true event? If so, sorry ne. Writing is the best way to deal with such things. Keep it coming.
