Vaction

Memories have carried me through the years

burden filled tears dreams filled with fears

turn into nightmares and blank stares

swallowing my pride
learning to hide
from the hurt inside

filling a void becoming annoyed
with life and it's strife

sharp pains shoot through my soul
I can't control it
so I sit and write my way on a mental vacation

accepting happiness in every place visited
basking in my thoughts like a drug
learning to sweep petty inconsistencies of
life, love and pain under the rug
