Good write, that inner self is difficult to be released from but within that inner self is the wonder of a better life.

Your poem is so well written, and I think there are times in everybody\'s life where we just want to get away. Unfortunately, it is usually not the solution since somehow the past always sneaks up on us again.
Great poem! Kudos

You don\'t have to hide from judgment here on MPS. This is a judgment free zone. But excellent writing.

rrodriguez said:
Yes, the worms are the result of so many rotten mangoes on the road and the smell is the chemical mush decomposing
The mountains are so beautiful. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Roberto, you might as well add me to the list. Want to know the same thing Santi wants to know.
Really like your prose memories. Have to try to do something like that myself. A lot of things happen in any life worth writing about.
PS: If you don\'t want the whole story out in the open, you can always write to Santi and me on our mail box. Send it to one and copy it to the other one.

Very brave write, but it is what writing can do, in may ways it can release the demons in our minds so that we can move on in our lives.

Traumatic Childhood Memory (Prose Poem)
MendedFences27 said:
Such things can be remembered, and who knows maybe they should be, but such things are not who you now are. You have managed to survive and build a life of your own. It is today and tomorrow that you should cherish and devote all your thoughts to, only remembering when you choose to do so. Enjoy your life, live with love in your heart, and cope as best you can. The past is not you. You are R Rodriguez. God Bless. - Phil A.
