Memories of life

so imprecise

recollections torment me.

 

As I recall

the things I saw
what did I truly see.

Reminiscences

of the past
so often shade my mood.
 

Creeping thoughts

of yesteryear
never understood.

If only

I could shout out loud
all that I hold within.

I’d shed the burdens

of my past
then my new life could begin.
