Photographs In My Mind

 

Photographs in my mind

are memories I don't like

to share of the pain and

tears my sister and I

had to bare.

 

Photographs in my mind

are forever there, I try so hard to

 close them out and try to

put the memories way

behind and let nobody

hear.

 

Photographs in my mind

I know will never go away

for they are there to stay.

I replace them with something

new and try to forget the

memories of what we, together

had to go through.

 

Photographs in my mind

are so real that it scares me

to speak of them and makes

us blue. When they do come

to surface I try to block them

out by thinking of something

new and go about.

 

Photographs in my mind

I can plainly see of all what

happen to me and you.

 I am me and me

am I, trying to live my life; trying

to get by.

 

Photographs in my mind

of memories I try to leave

behind. I bow my head in prayer

and talk to God, take them away

and set us free, please just

let me be me. 

 

Photographs in my mind

of the memories that are there,

  ones I hate to share, of the memories

my sister and I had to bare. 

Dear God, 

the photographs of our minds

of memories that nobody cares

and really makes us scared. We do

want to be whole, my sister and I

and want to be healed from the the 

photographs of memories left behind

in our minds.
