Unsettling Memories

Feeling hampered by others negativity for past mistakes

A discouraging outlook continues stirring up many shameful narratives.

Languishing longing stares drawn towards leaning presumptions.

An unnecessary startling moment, assuring righteous persuasions aren't initially heard.

Part of a stunning perception spurned for sorting any thoughtless outright hurts.

Conjuring up insignificant patterns of reminders floating calmly against prosperous winds reliving anguished bygones.

Sensing faraway retrospects synchronizing inside a bursting fury of troubling flashbacks.

A tensed daunting occurrence left fiercely subdued for unrelenting attempts.

Imploring ongoing unsavory chatter amongst mirroring doubters.

A forsaken purpose clinging to distressing barriers.

Now inquiring enlisting paths meant for salvaging one's self worth through internal forgiveness.
