Along this road of discovery and recovery there are still demons inside of me I must deal with.

Foggy memories linger,
From a life I once claimed.
Now too terribly vague and distant for me to frame.
Fallen dreams and hopes,
Too painful for me recollect,
For years they have been buried.
Is now the time to resurrect?
Unsure what my current memories
Recall to be true.
Possibly for the best,
The truth could easily end up killing me too.
Tormented by my planted ideas
Of what lies ahead.
Night after night, I awake screaming and crying in my bed.
Painstakingly crawling along the
Path to adapt and accept.
Never allowed to finish before
Another bombshell is set into effect.
For my own safety I am guarded,
I pull pack as the trigger engages.
For inside my soul the seems,
Forever there will be a constant war that rages.

    I think a war rages within all of us. I know I have a huge battle going on inside of me too. I really like how you put your work together, very powerful!!

    The only thing worse than Love and Hate and the extremes of emotion, is monotony.
    It would be a quiet life for us all without the battles we all face, alone.
    A great poem, that has made me think deeply… this makes me extremely glad that you wrote it and that I read it!
