Reborn

They say the things that don't kill you,make you stronger. 
I say I don't want to talk about it any longer

It's been some time now. 
Will this wound ever heal?
Some way somehow.  
I will Accomplish the impossible,a way to not feel. 

I will erase my memory,trust me it is easiest that way. 
And look forward to the future 
Tomorrow is truly another day. 
Numb,that is what I will be,
Dumb,when asked to recall memories that hurt me. 

They say the things that don't kill you,make you stronger. 
I say I don't want to talk about it any longer. 

No more think,hurt,remember and weep
I will be normal Wake up,eat,work,and sleep
Life will be easy,there's nothing to fear. 
Trouble?i will just stay clear 

I need to revert back to who I used to be. 
Before the contradictions,abuse and lies changed me. 
I will start over,dumb out my brain 
Live life as a simpleton,normal and sane

They say the things that don't kill you,make you stronger. 
I say if I don't forget I can't do this any longer.

Mark, if only it was possible to erase what has already been printed in the memory. Some of the things how we so wish them away, but cannot forget. Thanks for sharing.
