that moment you are reminded, <br />by your past, <br />nothing makes sense anymore, <br />it's like a switch, <br />your body goes numb, <br />you start doing, <br />things that you wouldn't normally do, <br />but it don't matter, <br />it only seem like a dream, <br />later it replays in your mind, <br />but a chunck of your day was gone, <br />you start piecing back the pieces, <br />making them all fit, <br />but no matter how hard you try, <br />there's always a piece of the puzzle, <br />that seems to be missing, <br />once reminded, <br />your body freezes, <br />can't believe what really happened, <br />or how the info fits into your life, <br />but from the feeling you getting, <br />you know it can't be good, <br />you fell in the same trap as the past, <br />the only different is, <br />there was no fight, <br />so close to give in, <br />just to realized, <br />wasn't worth it, <br />still that switch remains on, <br />making it hard to do the right thing, <br />part of you want to give in, <br />and hope it makes the pain go away, <br />but the other part knows, <br />it just smoke and mirrors, <br />once it all goes away, <br />your problem still remain, <br />as clear as day, <br />but bigger than before.<br /><br />mona martinez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/being-reminded-of-the-past-is-like-an-on-switch/
