Burden of memory

Eric Brown

1 min read

They say anxiety is living in the future

Depression is living in the past

That in itself is the burden of memory

There's no telling how long depression will last

One day you will turn elderly

And you won't remember the past

Alzheimer's runs in my family

My grandfather had it and I fear I will too

There are some memories that I would love to forget

Even though I've had a stroke I have not lost ...

TW: may contain triggers

Nights spent carefully watching as his smile turned to ice

Nights waiting for the call that I knew would not come

A butterfly that grew bright, was fated to fall and die

Leaving behind a world full of flowers and love

From their perspective

Nights that echoed from my thoughts racing from his words

Nights that screamed in my ear, the night sky wrinkling in my palms

The Fourth Lie

✨🍄🌙✨

5 min read

Three lies, that was all anyone was granted in their whole life. How many had I used at this point? I couldn’t be sure. I wasn’t blameless; I had earned my fair share of punishment from dodging truths more dangerous than bullets. But those weren’t lies. I hoped they weren’t lies.

“Darcella!” I hear my name being yelled from across the field. The long wheat and grass strands tickling my bare legs, my not-so-white gown sticking to my skin.

I stare down at my body, my trembling hands in front of me. I think he did this to me. The man running up to me.

“Stay back! I mean it, you lunatic!” I exclaim as I try to retreat back into the forest. The strong, heady metallic scent of...

The Little Things

As I sit in my bed upset about the awful day I had my roommate walks in. We say hi to each other and we sit in silence in our respective corners of the room. She can tell I’m upset by the way my lip quivers as I’m on my phone. I lay on my side facing away from her and silently whimper while trying not to cry. Negative thoughts swirl in my head like a hurricane of anxiety.

My brain keeps saying “Y...

The beginning of the End

When the reporter asked me what inspired me to write my first number one single I thought back to the night when I realized I liked you and the time we spent together from that night forward. All of these memories came flooding into my mind like a dam had just burst. I thought about the first time we kissed, the first time we said I love you and the last time we ever spoke. Some of my favorite mem...
