Holding down the hordes
Of memories which seep
Their way into my mind
On days of peace

The demons which
Keep my muscles
Tense and armed,
Retaliate at any sign
Of rebellion

Tetris-like head games
Are commonplace
In this deserted alley
Of synapses

Another night hits
The ground and I am
Left with only the discarded

To defend myself
