Why does our mind try to reason with itself?

Or somehow it feels the pain?

Can we put our feelings on a shelf?

Or do our tears continue down the drain?

Torment from our mind and soul

It never seems to rest

Where is the end of this deepening hole

My mind says get this off your chest—

Oh mind please quiet down

I need to be at peace

Let the past forever drown

I need all my memories to cease—

The memories cant disappear

No matter how hard we want them to flee

Even with a lingering fear

We need to make peace and let it be.
