Memories

[Horn]

Memories
These memories of the past,
I can't get rid of them,
No matter what I do,
All these flashbacks,
Wanting to make me scream with rage,
From the &, the anger, the pain, the sadness…
They are attached to me,
And I am one with them,
The weights that society has with it,
Exchanging the pain of the mind for the ease of the body..
No matter how insignificant,
These worries, these memories, these thoughts,
Torrent through my body,
Shaping my life and my pessimistic perspective
On the world around me…
This contagious disease spreads to those around you,
Infecting all you reside in.
Whoever said mental pain cannot hurt?
Physical pain can vanish, but mental pain,
Oh that lingers, shaping your next
Movements and actions and
Haunting your mind... No matter how untrue,
You believe it... All you do is look and remember
The bad of life... That is how it is with
The devil of the mind…

Physical pain can vanish, but mental pain,
Oh that lingers, shaping your next
Movements and actions and
Haunting your mind...
