Pain Of My Past Poem by cassie slaughter

here I am
Looking back
At all the pain
Of my past
I begin to wonder
Why it seems so hard
To let go of all this pain
Could it be because
I'm still trying to run?
Could it be because
All the scars left behind
Constantly remind me of all the pain I still feel inside?
Could it be because
I have not found a way to truly let go?
Or could it be because
My heart has not yet healed
From all the wounds that were caused
By all the trauma and pain deep down inside?
Who really knows
Why I can't seem to let go
Of all the pain
That causes me to go insane
