A free verse poem of reliving the painful past.
We unleash pain by remembering those bad moments.
Looking at that past picture that cuts the mind,
Or talking about a memory that stabs the soul.
Recognizing that these actions leads to bleeding inside,
Yet we still puncture a deep hole which causes harm.
Once the blood of recollection pours out,
It's difficult to clot the self-inflicted scar.
Remembrance of heartbreak ruptures the present,
Thinking that stimulates an impossible scenario.
Reflection and prediction is a very dangerous mix,
Like adding fuel to a huge fire that is out of control.
Instead of reliving painful thoughts regarding the past,
Use the medicine of laughter to ignite a smile from history.

Torturing Ourselves
Intentionally wounding ourselves through flashbacks,We unleash pain by remembering those bad moments.
Looking at that past picture that cuts the mind,
Or talking about a memory that stabs the soul.
Recognizing that these actions leads to bleeding inside,
Yet we still puncture a deep hole which causes harm.
Once the blood of recollection pours out,
It's difficult to clot the self-inflicted scar.
Remembrance of heartbreak ruptures the present,
Thinking that stimulates an impossible scenario.
Reflection and prediction is a very dangerous mix,
Like adding fuel to a huge fire that is out of control.
Instead of reliving painful thoughts regarding the past,
Use the medicine of laughter to ignite a smile from history.
