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?
