Pauline Johnston, Age unknown
Lancashire, UK
Hidden Mind
Painful memories
Locked away
Locked inside the hidden mind...
One must not look
One can not touch
Don't remember...it hurts too much...
Locked away...deep inside...
Almost safe to smile again...
Years roll on
Almost grown, but...
Reminiscence of the past
Stirs the mind
Upsets the heart
Deep depression
Minds awake
Memory flashes
Soul now breaks
Reality's no longer past
Rehaunt the child
Who lives within...
