Process of Thought Pt. 1

A journey through my twisted mind.

By Jay CynPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Take a close look, see the scars on my heart.

Nothing's left of the man that came back to tear you apart.

I ran in circles chasing a confused memory,

recalling some thing I knew I could never be.

I've painted my life with this ink on my skin.

So even though I take pills, my past comes creeping back again.

When I close my eyes, I see faces of the one's I've hurt.

I'm haunted by visions of bodies left cold in the dirt.

There are things in this life I thought I'd left behind,

I can't sleep at night, they still consume my mind.

I have tried to drown feelings in my sea of despair.

Instead, I had to let go, become that someone who cares.

I realize there's no joy being another negative one.

I know I can't change my past, whats fucking done is done.

Now when I look ahead, I see things for what they are.

Accepting lessons learned, keeping pain locked in my heart.

It's there to remind me that I still fucking feel,

it remains in contrast to happiness, now that I know its real.
