My Repressed Memory

It's not that I wish I could rewind time

But just go back and delete things

People, places

Like from a box of chocolates

You choose the ones you want

You've tried all the others, but have left them half bitten and thrown back in the box

Straight into the trash

I wish I could keep the lessons I've learned from certain experiences, but erase those experiences completely

Like they never happened

As thought I never spent so many countless days or weeks crying over it

I can remember an entire table of faces hovered over bottles of vodka

But it's as if I am not conscious during the times I see you

I cannot remember what you look like

I can picture your nose, your teeth, even your eyebrows

But as a whole, I can't put them together

And it makes me wonder- maybe I don't want to remember

Maybe I'm not supposed to

Maybe in the future you'll be nothing short of an inch away and I won't remeber who you are

You have broken me down, in every sense of the phrase, and you took away the person I could have been

And with that said it's still my fault

I'm still not enough

I like to make myself believe you aren't even real

That you are a figure of my imagination

That God created you for my own purposes

To learn and grow

And that he gave you a house, a life, a family to share with me

But none of it actually exists

And that's the reason I can't ever remember your face

I cry now because I think of all the times I've stared at you for hours,

Closing my eyes, trying to hammer your face into my thoughts

Each time saying, "I will not forget this time"

I always do

Prioritize

I'm not quite sure what it is I want for myself

Or, better yet, out of myself

What kind of person I want to be

Where I want to go

And what if the only thing I want to be is the old me

The old me had things together

She knew where she was going and she was going fast

When I saw him pacing the hall, I felt like screaming

"I feel just the way you look"

Loud, so everyone could here it

His withdrawal was for pills

Mine was for love

To be accepted again

By God, my family, even me

Sometimes I feel there is no way out

Like I will be circling the same tumultuous path for eternity

And each time realizing I was more foolish, more selfish, and more happier the time before that

And maybe I'm confused because for the first time I'm putting someone else before myself

Something I vouched I would never do

And yet here I am

Allowing another person to take me for a spin

To pin me down and teach me a lesson I wouldn't learn otherwise

Life is too short, do with it what makes you happy

Leaving Lucifer

"When it's really quiet like this, that's when I truly hate myself.."

This is me, this is all I'll ever be

And maybe it was the fact that someone loved me

Even at my worst

That convinced me to give up

What punishment comes to those who betray God?

Stuck in the tenth level of Hell

One that Dante had forgotten

One that I have created for myself

For those who decieve

The human mind is a funny thing

We proceed to do things we know are wrong

Because it gives us a feeling of exhilaration

I want something different for myself

I have felt the ecstacy of the edge, but now I'd rather be normal

I don't want to continue to feel burdened by my actions

And maybe this time around things will be different and God can forgive me

He is all that I need, My hope

Comradery

Lately I find myself feeling anxious

Like I'm waiting for something to happen

Something that I don't even know about

And the wierd part is, in a sense, I am waiting for things

I'm awaiting answers

To questions I don't understand or am too scared of confronting

Maybe I should have kept my word

Maybe now is a good time to stop lieing to myself about the person I've become

And the hardest part is looking them in the eyes or sharing a laugh with them

Because I know I don't deserve it, because I know I chose wrong

And still did it despite my better knowledge

And when I'm looking at myself in the mirror, I put my hand over the reflection of my face

Partly because I don't want to see myself crying, but more so because I'm so disgusted with myself

Who am I? What have I let myself become?

I am a stranger to myself and I am a prisoner of my own thoughts, sins, & mistakes

It felt good for those moments to feel connected to something

But feelings come in many forms

Happiness, lust, trust, love, betrayal, forgiveness, letting go..

The saddest day

The day she stops pretending

The day she wakes up to only find that the world is filled with monsters

Only they are not as easy to spot as the one's in the closet or under the bed

The day she will blame you for making her believe what you told her was true

Setting her up for disappointment and all along knowing you were only doing it for her own good

And what about the day she tells you she hates you and the world is ripped up from under you

You believe what you are told not out of ignorance, but more or less because of wishful thinking

And somewhere down the line it comes back to bite you in the ass

Because if everyone always got what they wanted pain, suffering, and endurance wouldn't exist

So the saddest day of all is today

The day I chose to let go of something I knew wouldn't work

But in my head I had led myself to believe so

Because maybe I was too scared to look at myself in the mirror and know what kind of person I have become

What about the day she lies straight to your face?

And you come to find she has decieved you in the worst way

She has made her bed and lays in another


"Nothing is easier than self-deciet. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true." -Demosthenes

If all you wanted was the satisfaction of "winning", well you can have it

It just goes to show the kind of person you are

I hope you're happy, I know I am
