Poetry from my heart

Repression

8/30/2019

Every moment I try to remember

but I can tell you those things never

I've locked them from myself

so before you take it off the bookshelf

make sure the key 

is where it needs to be

All those times I wished I could talk

hoping it wouldn't cause shock

but the things I wanted to say

would just make people turn away

that's what my mother told me

so I repressed it and left it be

Now people can't let those nightmares go

they always use them to make a blow

I wish I could erase the past

I wished the pain wouldn't last

they know they hurt me

but they laugh because my pain is free

Every tear I have cried

every time they have lied

I wish I could leave

maybe then peace would be what I achieve

but I'm stuck here

day after day and year after year

I feel like I can't do anything

without those guys laughing

maybe I should stop being me

maybe then they would all see

I'm not some child to be mocked

maybe it's time for their world to be rocked

I may not seem ready

because their mocking seems steady

but with the anger inside

there is nothing left for me to hide

I think it'll be their turn

I think it's time to watch them burn.
