Chasing Spirits(in the dark)


History shows itself coming alive. I'm haunted by

the history of bad memories lingering in my open mind.

I've got my good memories locked away to protect in my 

heart. History is like chasing spirits in the dark.

 

I set my demons on fire in the dark. Scars from my past 

won't break me. I've got the cold chills when I feel like a 

ghost town. My walls feel like there caving in by my haunted 

history. Whenever I look for the good memories, it feels like 

I'm chasing spirits in the dark.

 

The Washoe club is like a wild west show down in my haunted

mind. I feel like the Winchester Mystery House, in the dark maize

not knowing where to go with my demons following me. My demons

are as strong as Bobby Mackey's Music World, they don't know that I'm

blessed. It feels like I'm chasing spirits in the dark, when my demons haunt

me.

<p>You learn something new every day! I didn't know some of your references in your poem so I had to do some research, so I learned something. My favorite line is definitely "History is like chasing spirits in the dark." I'm sure it's one of your favorites, too, since you've repeated a part of it and used in the title.&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you for sharing this,<br>Rebecca</p>
