Trying To Forget

I don't want to remember the good in my past

'Cause when I do all I remember is the bad

Then tears of sad comes down my cheeks 

Painful memories 

Hunt me

Taunt me

So I run

Trying to focus on the 

Present and future 

Pain found me there to...

I can imagine , not what you may have gone through but I know what pain and suffering I have had to endure and I thought this could only be happening to me and nobody knew how I felt, but I understand, we are all suffering, we are not like anyone else and we all feel differently and sometimes the same, I know there are people out there that react to pain differently, some turn to drugs or alcohol, I turn to paper and it helps me, to relieve all the tension inside, stay strong sweetie and thanx

I know from experience that painful memories can stay with you for a lifetime. Time does help ease the pain once you are away from the things away from the things that hurt you. Keep moving forward, Breana. Great write. Love Robin
