Haunted

There's a haunted house inside me.

It retains unwanted anger, regrets,

and shame.

-

It's dark, and it's spooky.

The cobwebs hold hostile emotions.

All that's positive and constructive

seems to have died. 

-

It projects psychological untruths.

It needs to be demolished--

burned down and rebuilt.

-

Now!

Author's Note

Thanks Pat for the burned down line.

Hi TIm, I like the brevity of this poem. We can become prisoners of our own mind and the negative thoughts it projects. It feel like a "time to pull the trigger moment" has come for the narrator. It is a constant battle to take the plunge and burn it all down.
