Memories

There’s been this constant commentary

echoing shitty memories

doubling down

on self-addressed hate speech

it’s so goddamn tempting to reach

for the off switch

oh, how I wish

I could ditch yesterday

if I were a religious man

I would pray for a calm mind

instead of such cannibalizing rewind

and so this is sobriety

this is turning the key

and letting the demons run amok

fuck…

how I long for a pint

or a needle or pill

anything on earth to kill

these memories

before they kill me.
