https://mindlovemisery.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/mlmm-wordle-370/   Prompt words:  clear, past, memory, laughter, childhood, chatter, thoughts, play, friends, stop, secrets, whispers

Too clear, the Past’s memories

They chatter, whisper secrets

Will not stop their torment

Remind me there were no

 Friends nor childhood play

(Laughter stifled, fearing fury)…

Oh how pitiful I sound, such

Melodramatic meandering

Thoughts–surely I exaggerate

Make much ado of nothing

More than imagined offences…

Perhaps most memories are

Murky, mired in muddy bogs–

But why would I deceive, use

Dreadful image to disguise

If I’d lived glittered fairy tale

Been someone’s treasured prize…
