Strangled By Memories

Some days are better than others...but when the memories won't stop playing in my mind...

Each emotional blow it gets harder to pull myself up off the floor

Will I ever be able to move forward and hurt no more

Disguising my heartache, I've lost the ability

I no longer feel happiness nor do I have tranquility

My mind is being strangled by memories of the past

How much longer will this relentless turmoil last

I can really relate to what you have written here. It seems many can just shake off bad memories and trauma like a dog coming in from the rain and shaking and twisting left and right until they’re free of the burden. Then there are those of us who carry more and more bad memories, PTSD, like an ever growing accumulation of ticks stuck deep under our skin making us ill. And the older we get, the more haunting stuff we carry. To answer your ending question: I fear until we die.

A painful and exhausting place to live. The mind can wreak havoc. I wish you a reprieve from your torment. Great title.
