I got a lot of memories in my head
Thought am going to outgrown it soon
But it seems am still stuck with it
Like a pendulum Bob oscillating to and fro
In a fixed position
Bound by their words
Chained by the swords of their mouth
Slashing down every hope inside of me
Turning it into sores as it bleeds
Their words pull me down like a bullet
Penetrating into my skin
Leading into an internal bleeding that Wont stop gushing out.
Caged down by their words, chained by their opinions
Locked up inside the same memories within the walls
That kept echoing the same voices afresh like it was yesterday.
Tried so many times to escape but the silent voice Wont let me rest
Don't try that !!, it is gonna hurt!!!
It kept whispering
Tried shedding out my old self, putting on a new one
I don't care if it is itchy or rough
I just want to fit into the world they described me to be
Yeah you can say it, am still traumatized by memories in my head, and I don't care anymore
