Vault Poem by James Hunter

A darkened place inside of me
Where rejected memories go
Hidden from the conscious mind
Imprisoned within my soul
I do not dare to peek inside
The pain seems way to real
So I ignore the taunts and jeers
They stay locked up so I wont feel
They plan escape, I am on guard
I will not set them free
Though sometimes I am curious
To feel what's kept from me
I am uncertain to what extent
I really need to know
For if they ever are set free
Can I maintain control
