Poems From The Dark Minded

Survivor

I survived a tragedy, oh so long ago,

How the memories hurt me so

I remember every detail of those days,

The fake debt we had were forced to pay

We never deserved what happened, but it still did,

To some of us, only as a kid

We fought through the pain each day and night,

Hoping that one day, all would be right

I lost the ones I held so close,

And I had to keep moving, the only thing on my back being my clothes

I still have the faded silver lines,

The scars of those days, the pain not worth a dime

It was suffocating for so long,

Trying to keep moving along

I left so much behind,

But going back would give me nothing to find

Only painful memories,

Only able to find all the things I'd seen

I survived those awful pains,

Through it all, I've remained sane
