My wound is old

But yet it stings

It's a recurring dream

A nightmare


Unpreventable it was

I sink with every strain

The treachery and terror 

I wanna scream and cry

But there's nowhere to run or hide

There's no way to escape


They tell you to remember the past

To not repeat it once

Yet I remember mine

It chooses to repeat every time


The cut always opens more

Until i’m troubled and sore

I can't take it no more


It always gets better though

I smile I laugh

Until I fall to their cruelty

Manipulated once more

This piece is about my childhood and how it repeats constantly and never stops repeating to the point I expect it now.
