Ashes In The Attic

By Flowing Pencil

Perhaps it is fitting our darkest memories

remain ashes in the attic so to speak

Kept hidden lest they hamper the psychological well-being of others

I ask as am conflicted you see…

As if our own mental health is as worthless as discarded rubble

Is that all our pain is worth in this age

Of

Let’s not disturb the children

What about the child within lying in tatters

What do we do with him

With her

Are we now merely

Ashes in the attic?
