Mnemophobia

To pull the trigger on these memories,
Serenading me in the darkness from reality
Denying a past life, a past day of long ago time
Wishing to close my eyes and see something good
To not have to fear the mistakes we've made
Where's the key so I can throw this all away
Lock up these nightmares, conceal the fake dreams
Not as strong as I pretend to be, not strong enough to fight
Some days of dim light and reminiscent of what won't hold back
The war storming through the corners of my brain
Firearms the main attention to my thoughts
The blazing guns of negativity and pain
An impending doom hanging on every memory,
Every terrible thought,
Every foreboding feeling,
Every intensified image.
A mixture of reality and dream
When no longer a difference is seen with eyes closed
When we walk through each day, with our memories and dreams,
Telling us lies and telling us fatal flaws
We thought we were stronger than this,
But it seems we're the ones fragile to touch
The breakable glass that's cracking at the slightest push
Afraid to sleep, to close our eyes
What are we fighting for?

Good, it depicts the inner battles we face, whether to fight for our beliefs or to let our fears conquer over us, its good.

Very well written. Every line brought me farther from reality. However, it still retained a logical progression and made sense.
