Memories

Some days
You can't turn off
The memories
No matter how
Many pills 
You swallow
Some days
The thoughts 
Echo
In your mind
Slowly driving you
To the brink
Of insanity
And if you place
Your palms
Over your ears, 
All you succeed
In doing
Is trapping
The memories in... 
So you scream
Out loud
To drown out
The thoughts
And then 
You scream
Even louder
When it doesn't work
Then you think
To yourself
Maybe more pills
Will help
For when
You are asleep
The memories
Are silent....
