So much
I have seen so much
I wish not to have seen
As I wash my eyes with bleach
Just for the relief
A punishment to the memories
I have heard so much
I wish not to have heard
I blast music
Just for the hope
To bust out my eardrums
I have felt so much
I wish not to have felt
So I shut down my mind
To avoid all emotion
So i never have to feel again
I have known so much
I wish not to have known
I drown my brain in news
To try and push out the old
In hopes for better views
