Can't let go

I have anger I can't get rid of
Hate that manifests
my life inevitably spilled over
with thoughts I can't forget
I know you're not like them
and I just want to believe
but something just can't let go
buried deep inside of me
I see the images of pain gone by
and something puts you in their place
a monster perhaps
a monster without a face
I can't control what it is my mind see's
or scenes my mind creates
I want to turn it off
I want to shout
but the flashes take over me
first anger, then pain, then jealousy
I know much more to believe
but yet my mind won't look to turn away
from the images my mind believes
Your openess has opened me
painted pictures on my walls
with art abstract and colorful
in my tears I see them all
It covers up the paint of old
all faded, chipped and worn
and lets in all the sunshine
of your heart upon my scorn
Yet somehow the old colors
still ascend right to the top
and the memories with you now in them
I can never seem to stop
Only with our eyes closed can we truly see

    :) {{{{{nailz100}}}}} :) Very open and honest poem and I liked the way flowed. I hope you're able to break the chains that bind!!!

    somehow we all just want to be free......and freedom is the same as happiness......let go of the hate and anger.......embrace innocence, because it's going to take you where you need to go
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    I am going to try, but there always seems to be a monster lurking over my shoulder

    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt

    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    I really like this.I just got out of acting class tonight and I was talking to Ms.Clancy,my coach, and we get along rather well...but...I always catch this expression on her face,kinda blank.And I wonder...what is she thinking of me?
    "I cant control what my mind sees or what my mind creates " you wrote...
    and its true.Somehow we always think the worst.
    I guess in your case in relationships,...I'm sorry.But to each my own.Thats my take.
    We always create such hate in our imagination.It manifests,but somehow,it seems never to be acted upon.

    This is somewhere I've been, my friend. Awesome poem and I hope you are able to work through this. Writing is therapeutic...so keep on it. That's one thing I didn't have when I went through my troubled times....she took that away too.

    More importantly, the ink.
