Hard Questions

Sometimes I have to ask myself hard questions. 
I almost never have an answer. 
I delve into the depths of my mind looking for clues, and always resurface with memories. 
Memories I'd rather forget. 
Memories that make me worry. 
Memories that never should have happened. 
Memories that make me cry. 
Once I remember one, I can't stop. They keep on coming until there's nothing left of me
But a puddle of memories on the floor of a darkened room. 
Sometimes all I wish for is to choose what memories to keep, and which should be buried away in my brain where even I can't find them. 
Sometimes that feels impossible. 
But I'll just have to keep trying, for there's nothing to do but carry on, 
Put on your hat, 
Drag your feet through the slushy snow
And face the day.

    love cannot be created or destroyed.

     

    like energy 

    it shape shifts

    following those filled with passion

    and hope

     

    but appearing to leave 

    at the slightest touch of pain

    And stares at the wall across from her 

    A sense of fear overtakes her

    Beginning in the pit of her stomach

    And spreading to each limb

    Coating her in feeling 

  • hide

    you are every eyebrow raise

    every smile

    frown 

    and concealed smirk 

    you can't help but show 

    on your canvas of a face

     

    when observing you
