Infinite Memories
I'm alone and can't sleep
There's no one here but me
I'm stuck with all these memories
If they could only see
The reasons I don't trust a soul
I know how cold the world can be
The scars buried in my heart
No one will ever see
They'll never understand
So why try to explain
The damage is said and done
And no one can ever see
I don't know where to turn
Or where to run and hide
So I lay awake at night and wonder
Why I had to see?
The thoughts that haunt my dreams are real
They live in my memories
They keep me up at night
Why did I have to see?
I don't choose to remember
I want to let it be
But it's what I have to live with
It's what I have to see
There's no one here but me
I'm stuck with all these memories
If they could only see
The reasons I don't trust a soul
I know how cold the world can be
The scars buried in my heart
No one will ever see
They'll never understand
So why try to explain
The damage is said and done
And no one can ever see
I don't know where to turn
Or where to run and hide
So I lay awake at night and wonder
Why I had to see?
The thoughts that haunt my dreams are real
They live in my memories
They keep me up at night
Why did I have to see?
I don't choose to remember
I want to let it be
But it's what I have to live with
It's what I have to see

I've been writing poems since I was 11 years old (for 12 years). I've been through a lot of trauma and I have trouble letting out my emotions. The only way I can fully express myself is through writing. It helps me release my feelings so I don't keep them bottled up.
