The Wrong Fish


		Destroy all evidence 
		That associates yourself, 
		Happiness,
		And What Was.

		Attempt to deeply bury memories,
		Covering them with
		Fresher, and different ideas
		Of what defines life.

		Avoid interaction or recognition,
		Or try yourself with acts of civility.

		Ignore the mixed feeling 
		Of lusting and loathing
		That thrusts itself into your mind 
		When any memory of What Was is triggered.

		Become temporarily bitter 
		About those who still live 
		The style of life that you have been refused.

		That scenario of life is completed,
		Be ready to begin it all again -
		At any moment.
