Memories are the father of all demons,
for whether conscious or not,
I am haunted,
chained to a former inaccuracy.
Constricted by thoughts alone
I am shadowed by this darkness.
Physically; Free to roam the world.
Mentally; Frozen.
Breaking free is far out of reach,
as solidarity, is binded to self-loathing.
One answer; Forgiveness.
