The past... it hurts.
So much pain...
so much regret...
so much drama.
Memories so painful,
memories so taunting,
memories so terrifying
that I can't help but to remember.
What about the beatings?
What about the rapes?
What about the bullying...
or the suicide attempts?
...the very things that hide
the true and loving me.
For I put on a mask;
a mask to protect myself.

So now I pick up
this magical eraser.
I place it on my past
and I erase it away.
Squeak! Rub!
scratch! Blow!
Never... going...
to remember... again!
---
My past is no more.
I have erased it away.
I can go on now
and live a normal life.
...or can I really?
Can I really go on?
Could I live normally
and not be affected?
Without the past memories,
I'm scared and lost in the world.
I'm fearful of the unknown;
I don't know what to do.
I try to make friends,
but all I do is shy away.
I try to be loving to everyone,
but all I see is hate.

I thought you would work...
magical past-erasing eraser!
I can't understand why;
it's supposed to remove errors.
And as I look down,
on my paper of past memories,
I notice something heart-breaking;
my past was written in pen.
One thing you can try and do. Focus on life... on what's going on. Don't focus on the pain... it'll make it hurt worse when you do.
This isn't written about me this was written in reflection of one of my very close friends.
...though I quite often suspect a past life that I've had that was horrid... cause I have hallucinations about it that feel so much like flashbacks.
