Bad Memories

a poem by Tiffany Morton

Can’t sleep so many thoughts running through my head
One bullet away from death, just wishing I was dead
The past won’t let me breath
Feeling like I’m trapped, I can’t move on
Mistakes I’ve made keep coming back to haunt me
There’s nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and hide
Feeling like there’s never no one by my side
Looking for a friend, someone who will hold me while I cry
Nothing seems to make sense anymore
I feel as if I have no meaning, I question why I’m really here
Wishing I could turn back the hands of time
Just so I could erase these horrible memories from my mind
No one understands as much as they say they do
I’m really not as strong as I look, not strong enough to handle this pain
Tears I’ve held in for months, just keep falling down my face
Wishing there was something: A prayer, A miracle to make it all erase
Feeling lost and out of place, just where exactly do I fit in
Many think they know how I feel, but they have no idea
Can’t sleep so many thoughts running through my head
One bullet away from death, just wishing I was dead
The past won’t let me breath
Feeling like I’m trapped, the past is haunting me!!!
