Memories

Old memories
haunting me
suddenly
coming back to me
it scares me so bad
sends my heart racing
confusing to me
sitting in wonder
why so quickly
they would come back to me
after disappearing
for so many years
I thought they were gone
and all was okay
thought I had become
strong enough to deal
but i was wrong
every corner I turn
I turn in fear
of another memory
becoming clear
flashing in my mind
not even time can fix
nor priest nor sheep or friend
so when all my memories
all my fears return
I plan to be
far away
so when my fear
my anger comes to be too much
when i lose control
no one will be hurt
and I will die
far alone.
