1st ENTRY

By Keith McHughPublished about 4 hours ago 1 min read

Echoes of the past,

Blast through my brain,

Dredging up the old again,

I feel I'm going insane,

Every morning feeling the pain,

Thoughts raining down,

Dowsing my crown,

Drowning out my will,

Still I stay strong,

How long must I battle,

This incessant rattle,

Babbling voices,

Pointing out bad choices,

The noise is unbearable,

I feel terrible,

A wearable past,

Left a lasting impression,

Casting me into the pen,

A time of depression,

A session of progression,

Regression therapy,

Tearing at me,

As i look to see the cause,

Pausing for a better view,

Getting a handle to hold onto,

As they keep coming through,

Staying true to what I know,

I throw them all away,

Now i can get started with my day.
