I'll be back



Thoughts swirling in my head
Trying to find a way
Can't remember what you said
I want to everyday

Take me back to my past
Because I got ripped away
It all went by so fast
I don't know what to say

Can't remember who I was
All my memories erased
I'm only trapped here because
Of all the things I've faced

I feel as though im living there
Still walking through those halls
Still running around in my yard
Not having a care at all

My mind is there
My body forced here
I still remember every room
I left my heart and all my tears
But i'll be back very soon

About this poem

    There are some conflicting feelings in all of this. One has to see if they are to be taken in a positive or in a negative way. The argument does not show it convincingly.
    The rhyme-scheme is quite easy, but not at all that bad.
