Some are more violent
Than a bloodthirsty tiger
The more you suppress it
Try to put it back into its cage
The more it fights back
Growls at the top of its lungs
The more ALIVE it becomes
Flashing vividly and violently
Through your mind
Instead
Undo the chains
One link at a time
Slowly it will crawl out
And it will be there
Then it will be gone
Back into
The wild
of
Your mind
A memory is an unruly animal

I remember that day
I was given as gift
Today I still reside
Right there on your wrist
I remember that day
As I was handed to you
There were tears in your eyes
You prepared to say goodbye
Every time
I try to speak
My voice is trapped
Stuck between reality
And imagination
Between my mind
And my throat
Stuck in a loop
Unable to reach beyond
You blink
Once
Than once again
I can tell
Not much goes on in you head
You move your fins
Back and forth
Never thinking
About anything else
Do you miss the time
