Severing A Haunted Psyche

..cerebral disturbances..

I don't yearn for riches 

Nor immortality 

I don't want fame 

Nor reasons for vanity 

The only thing I wish for 

Is an act of impossibility 

To place my mind in surgery 

And dissect away... 

The regretful memories

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

A interesting poem that comes alive in the second part. With feelings that many can relate too in wanting to rid ourselves of the ghosts of our memories. It works how it is and it makes the reader think a lot despite being so short that said I felt it needed something more. The title and the second stanza appeal to me in a deeply thought provoking way.

ha! How I ve wished for that over and over. They say our memories make us who we are, I d gladly trim some of it away. Thanks for this brilliant poem.

We all have painful memories we wish to erase. If only this were possible. If only we could sift through and choose what we want to rremember. Why do traumatizing experiences echo so deeply in our minds...
