Memories of last night

Daniel

As I wake the light stings my eyes
A thousand drums play a symphony
My hands shake my mouth is dry
As the room spins uncontrollably

The memories of last night flood in
Every detail felt like a kicking mule
Regret and shame my regular guest
To this my life as the jester the fool

As I shower I search for some hope
My sins like scars can't be scrubbed clean
As a stranger in the mirror stares back I ask
Where'd my life go what happened to me

This poison my friend my prison walls
Frees me from my shame and regret
And whispers to me it's not your fault
As I repeat each day again and again
