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 

Reviews

[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.

Like a surgeon with a precise incision
you cut into the psyche with ease.

Open and honest, if only we could cut away the regrets.

[Ben Taylor]

An evisceration of regret; a noble sentiment.
Nice, short, and to the point.
You did this well; the emotion has been captured.

[Poetic Beauty]

We all have regretful memories that we wish we could remove for one reason or another and you have captured that thought in a unique way.
