all I see
when I look inside
is the hole
where the memories
of my father
should be

Memories compress,
In the recess of the mind.
Thoughts confined,
By the passing of time.
A shine dedicated
To a past divine.
The horrors expressed
So totally mine.
Waiting untouched,
A defensive confine.
Dissociated reality,
A false sublime.
Seen from above,
I’m left in a bind.
A fist is raised,
Told to stay in line.
Flashes of vision,
Pain a bright shine.
A hollow city,
Dysfunctional and blind.
Memory as a curse,
A picture of crime.
Cause and effect,
We’re both doing time.
It’s all guess work,
Just a twisted game,
Played against the self,
On the battleground of shame.
I don’t know much,
My brain is maimed.
Functional enough
To get itself tamed.
Forever questioning,
Looking to blame.
No way to win,
Just playing the game.
Victory is simple,
Just stave off dying.
Survive the day,
Then breakdown crying.
Because memories compress,
Forgotten with time.
Until you’re stupid enough,
To open your mind.

I’m sorry to confirm,
You have a case of thought worm.
Soon they will infect your brain,
With reverberated pain.
They will burrow and squirm
And spread their sperm.
Then their spawn will begin to drain
And eventually you’ll be driven insane
You gotta hold firm,
Cause you’re in it for the long term.
I say it again,
In vigilance you must remain.
Still, you’re gonna end up infirm,
Cause you’re infected by a thought worm.

Brain oscillation,
No concentration,
Thought invasion,
Constant rumination,
Memory violation,
Past commiseration,
Unwanted stimulation,
Apologetic compensation,
Fleeting determination,
Hypocritical deliberation,
Personality creation,
False presentation,
Total ostentation,
Needing defibrillation.
