When Will This Nightmare Stop?

When will this terrifying nightmare stop?
 
This endless storm, from which I am dropped
 
This way, that way, thrown around like a toy
 
It feels like yesterday I was but a mere boy
 

 
And the past tortures me, even though it is done
 
I am constantly reminded of mistakes made when I was young
 
Am I to be forever tortured by memories and faces?
 
By wrongful actions, the worst choices, emotional takeovers, and by my disgraces?
 

 
And does everyone suffer in the way I am tormented?
 
Is it normal? Or am I simply demented?
 
When do the nightmares stop, and the dreams begin?
 
Or am I now tarred with a brush? A life of sin?
