monster made from memories (t.w.)

the monster made from memories,

a beast that feeds on cries and screams.

there are not any remedies,

he finds you even in your dreams.

it hurts you to remember, it’s painful to relive

trying to forget the past, hiding behind a fragile wall

they tell you to “forget”, “forgive”..

but they know not the monster’s call..

the monster made from memories, you grow tired of fighting

when the losses are so many and so small are your wins

the thought of just one more battle so very uninviting

trying to rest your weary mind, when the monster lunges again.

Opposing the beast- for the soldier never goes well..

how to keep moral high when you’ve lost so much ground..?

they will never see your tears, hear what you have to tell

the monster sits atop your chest, and you can’t make a sound.

Off in the distance now you hear the heavy, lumbering steps

never feel security, always on your guard..

without another option, his call you accept

as you march to meet the monster, wondering- “will it always be so hard..?”
