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?

This is just.. WOW.. "To pull the trigger on these memories" You had me hooked from the moment I read that line (not to mention it was my favorite line though the whole poem was amazing). Very deep poem filled with great emotion and imagery. And the final line was the perfect end for the poem. Gives the reader something to think about when they finish reading. That right there is what a great poem is supposed to do. Leave the reader thinking about what they just read. Not to just forget it when they are done with it. Very very very good write. 100/ 10
