Buried In My Sorrows: Poem by Sherry Painter

I'm buried in my sorrows,
So deep there's no way I can escape them,
Impossible!
They haunt me day and night.

I'm buried in my sorrows,
There's no way I can escape them,
They haunt me,
My mind,
I never now when the sorrows will trigger the memories,
The awful, awful memories.

The memories,
They run me down,
They trample over me as I try to get back up onto my feet.

The memories,
They hit me like a ton of bricks,
They drown me in pain,
In there bitterness…
