A lifetime of memories
Created in me
A stockpile of guilt
Lives in me

Never missing a single beat
I walk in step with my past
Always allowing it to defeat

A mask of darkness
Shown to me
A taste of hatred
Given to me

Quick to slice my broken skin
I dissect what could have been
Slow to let the healing begin

A book of matches
Held by me
A piece of history
Lit by me

New choices replace the blame
I wait for nothing to remain
Old regret going up in flames

You better be treating yourself good or I'll kick your butt. Do not try and bend the spoon ...
JK, seriously I hope you are well, seems like you are making good progress in healing. Just keep on letting it out despite what the critics say. Hug

We are the poeple our parents warned us about

Nothing pisses non-conformists off more than other non-conformists who refuse to conform to the rules of non-conformity.

When Life gets you down,
Stand up.
Look him in the eyes.
And knee the sucker in
I don't know your history, so I haven't much to say ... just that it wasn't bad, I wish you the best of luck in the rest of your work, and the lines

uick to slice my broken skin
I dissect what could have been

are somehow brilliant.
