Words

No longer do I wish to hear

These words that live in me

I’d like them all to go away

And finally let me be

Don’t know how I can stop them

All these words inside that grow

They come at me, I set them free

In the only way I know

I’ve tried but can’t contain them

When I have I’ve learned the cost

For when it gets too dark inside

My reason soon is lost

How strange this road I’ve traveled

Never sure where I should turn

Will I ever not remember?

All these memories that burn

Too many still recall that time

Of how it was back then

Some say I should be silent

And not speak of “way back when’

But I have a debt of honor

To remember those who fell

Perhaps that is the reason for

These words I know too well
