I'm a Memory I don't understand this life sometimes How can something cause our demise? To cause the curtain call so easily And have others only hear part of the story There is just so much that goes left unsaid You never got introduced to the demons inside of my head These demons haunt me daily They harass me They remind me of my failures, flaws, and follies And after listening to the screaming for so long I choose to take my life And now so many say I was a coward They call me a disgrace When they have no f*ing clue So who are they? Are they blind? Are they deaf? Are they wearing those rose colored glasses again? This noose, this knife, this gun A silence, but a relief Ever thought that I did not know how to get help? Therapy, pills, dollar bills could not free me Sleep for hours, get up and scream my f*ing lungs out The fans love you when you're lookin good But fall once Hit one wrong note Go too mainstream And they slam the door shut! Why couldn't I be loved completely? Come on, let's make this personal Love me for my depression Love me for my drug addiction Love my different sound Love me, just love me, love me Not this fake shadow that you see But the me who lives within And now it feels I can't breathe As my tiptoes touch the floor So many could not see And so they now bid farewell to me I have no more days left to see It's all in my history I'm a memory! By, Tiffany Simar 7/20-21/17 In loving memory of Chester Bennington. I may have not been sure of your newer music, but I continued to love and respect you. May you be at peace now.

You make a good case for ending the misery of a life too stressed. Makes one wonder what music could have been written and performed by so many stars that burned-out long before their time was up.

You are a child of the Lord. God loves you forever and I love your poetry because of your sincerity and expressive spirit. You are a blessing to so many on the den but forget about trying to please everyone! Not even Jesus could do that so why do we think we can? Enjoy life and be yourself. You are unique and special in so many ways! Amen

A jam-up write, Tiffany. Me, I write what I want to write. If they like my poetry, they like me, because I am my poetry. If they don't like my poetry, never mind, I like it, and that's good enough for me.
