there are somethings
in life
that i hate.
one thing
that i hate most,
is getting flashbacks.
the ones that i
DON'T want to remember.
the ones
that i want to shove in a drawer
and leave them there
forever.
the ones
that you try hardest to forget
but no matter what
they don't go away.
so in case it wasn't clear
i'll say it again.
i hate getting flashbacks
from things i don't want to remember.
i hate it.
