Have you ever read something

Said something

Done something

Saw something

And it haunted you forever

Like you can't look at something that's remotely similar

Without having the feelings

That you had at the time

When something happened

You're being haunted

Not by a ghost

But by yourself

Because your brain

Won't let you forget

That one day

And that one time

That one place

That you saw

That you heard

That you read

That you said

Something regretful

Sometimes you get over it

Others you get reminded of it

But you can't exactly reach into your mind

And take out the memories

That you regret

Oh,

Wouldn't life be so much more enjoyable

If that was the case

Sometimes

You hate yourself

For doing something

That you are now haunted by

Sometimes what you did

Was supposed to be good for you

But instead

What was good

Turned into your worst nightmare
