I've entered a period when
I feel so fucking blue.
Work dries me,
memories aren't kind to me.
The bad ones have been triggered
in a single second, that last
as I paddle backward in my chair.

I lie in bed, tissues near,
memories become pictures
color's vivid, and not willing to leave.
I spent a lot of money on therapy
to take the bad days away,
and de-sensitize the footsteps ahead.

Late at night, my eyes open
white and bright. I focus and
concentrate trying not to replay
my abundance of fear. Afraid to
tell my story to the ones I hold dear.

The lines on my face, the spasms
in my fingers, they are symptons'
of tucking memories far away.
I just hope with time, that the damage
from my yesterdays become
obsurred and in memory
the edges are dull in color,
and in guilt. #X.

    Mostly a "C". Looked it up in the dictionary, there is no word close to obsurred. #X.
