Am I a coward for not living in the now 
Where my past is my present and scars are not found. 
Open wounds are only visible 
Tormented by the constant struggle of my mind so cynical. 
To end what I didn’t choose 
Is a mind fuck going ,back and forth, a place where I always lose . 
Sudden urges to overcome and break free from these chains 
My mind , my true self begins to corrode my inner strength. 
Molded by my upbringing shaped my experiences 
Did my parents not think of any consequences. 
Cycle of abuse has become my present clock 
My mind is a key without a lock . 
Just ticking away with no time to tell 
Living on earth in my own personal hell.
