Out of sight
Out of mind
The life I lived
I left behind
I forgot the hurt
I left the pain
I left out of my head
I went insane
I saw the face
And remembered the day
That I closed my eyes
And my reality fell away
All the pain you caused
All the tears I shed
So intense
The earth herself, she bled
Out of sight
But never leaving my mind
I can't find the place
I left behind
After all this hurt
After all this pain
Should I change my title
To Ms. Insane
Sometimes I think I'm just empty
That nothing can fill
That forever I've hurt
And forever I will
And old saying goes, "Out of sight
Out of mind"
I should accept my past
I should leave it behind
I try following The Commandents
Them all; the 10th the 8th
But this pain so blinding
I still question my faith
I blame myself
Am I really hellbound?
For just existing
Without touching ground?
Out of mind
Out of sight
The battle may be won
But not the fight
Out of sight
Out of mind
My past that haunts me
With this, I leave behind
Author notes
This poem came straight from my soul....When I was younger I got hurt.....It left a scar on my heart that I'm not sure will ever heal.

The battle may be won
But not the fight
this reminds me of that saying 'win a battle lose the war' which was my favourite saying for a while. I like the out of sight out of mind repetition and the rhyming was pulled off well. I was hurt when i was young most likely in a different way, whats important about that fact is that you managed to make me feel with this, and remind me of a lot of things i used to think.
Thank you for entering.

Do you feel any better after writing this? Did the scar closed even if it just a tiny bit?
This remind me of one of those nursery rhymes that children say to keep the Boogeyman at bay.
It's a good vent, nevertheless
Best of Luck in this Contest
and cheers to making through it.
