Voices From My Past

Echos from the past
fallow me through the halls
what you say reminds me
of the other taunts and calls

nightmares chasing me
over those many years
caught up to me just now
bringing forth held in tears

glimpses of my pain
come rushing back to me
the words you say are just like there's
your one of them, to me

fears for my future
ghosts from my past
these walls built to keep them away
crumble around me all too fast

And as my false smile crumbles
with laughter turned to tears
I turn away with hooded eyes
you have just confirmed my saddest fears
