Ali Joanne Poems

Why is it my memories haunt me
When i had kept then so hidden before
I thought i had managed to keep them away
And bolt them behind a closed door
...

Where can you run to
When no-one else is around
When everyone else is sleeping
And there isnt one single sound
...

Theres this place inside my head
Where everythings kept in tight
Even when i want to open it
My mind keeps it in with fright
...

I love having you as a friend
You make my life loads brighter
Even on a miserable day
You make my problems seem lighter
...

It still boils around inside
No matter what the day
Its still attacking my life
And i cant make it go away
...

Do you see the panic racing through my mind
Do you see the shaking I try to hide
Do you see the sweat sliding down my back
Do you see the tears I have cried
...

Like a shadow it follows
A separate part of me
I close my eyes to hide it
It's something I don't want to see
...

He said I had a choice
The darkness or the light
He said he would make it easy
And held me down so tight
...

Do you ever feel
The control you need
Is the only way
To live.
...

When we were young and carefree
The world, it seemed so immense
Yet we were never scared to venture
We were never scared, past tense.
