An outstanding fine
when I didn’t pay the fare.
A burned T-shirt
from a stupid dare.
A stolen album
in a record case.
A cheated drug test
In a cycling race.
A library book
I never returned.
A hand written letter
that I should have burned.
A diary entry
that no-one must see.
Just some of the things
that are haunting me.
A teenage memory
on the all-night bus.
An embarrassing tattoo
I cannot discuss.
An empty packet
not addressed to me.
A broken window
when I lost a key.
A made up entry
In an accident report.
A secret visit
to a criminal court.
A massive fine
Will I ever be released
from these haunting memories.
